..Country, had to be approved by me, as President, & I did so without hesitation or complaint. Quite the contrary, I felt it was well deserved. I even sent Air Force One to bring his body, in casket, from Arizona to Washington. It was my honor to do so. Also, I never called..

I hope.
Perhaps he’s got dementia like people say Biden has when Biden makes an apparent faux pas.
Currently the UK is catching 9% of the cod in the UK's Channel waters. France catches 66% of it and exports it to the UK. The UK eats a heck of a lot of cod.
Why on earth do you think UK fishermen would be incapable of catching cod in UK waters and selling it to the UK if the EU tried to lock them out?
Having a product that people want to buy and people able to buy it is better than being able to sell a product but not having anything to sell.
There are some speculating that the October surprise will be one of John Kelly or James Mattie confirming the overnight stories/backing Biden.
Its laughable.
However the McCain Republican vote in 2008 is not the same as the Trump Republican vote in 2016, a few establishment McCain voting Republicans even voted for Hillary last time while plenty of Trump voters in 2016 did not vote for McCain in the Republican primaries in 2008 or even voted for Obama in the general or stayed home.
Remember too in the Republican primaries in 2000 McCain was also the media and liberals candidate over George W Bush

Is it related to that?
66% of the cod in our own waters are caught by French fishermen who then export them to us.
If there was no deal and the fishermen started catch 100% of cod in our waters when what do you think our fishermen would do with those cod?
With Donald Trump, because of his known character, this is reversed. In the absence of clear and direct evidence that he did not say it the perfectly reasonable conclusion is that he did.
This is the level he has brought us all to, I'm afraid.
People care.

Because that's not true either. Many vote quite heavily on this matter.
If you think the vast majority of people would choose “independent fishing”, which will have no impact on them whatsoever, over empty supermarket shelves and increased cost of imported consumer goods then you’re seriously deluded.

And we will still be able to export fish post-Brexit, any country can. But the UK i despite being a coastal island remarkably a net importer of fish as it stands too.
Doubling or quadrupling our quota is not going to hurt UK fishermen. It is insane to suggest otherwise. Oh and we export to more than just the EU.
Oh ok then. So we should just ignore minority interests is that what you're saying? The voters in coastal communities and the MPs they represent absolutely do care and so they should.
If the 'vast majority' don't get about fishing then they should ignore the subject. Let the people who do care get a say - and the people that do care, care very passionately.
I’m sorry Philip but you’re just wrong.
Or do they prefer Biden, who says how proud he is of the military, while overseeing as VP thousands of coffins returning to the US from abroad?
I say the above only slightly tongue in cheek. One of Trump’s few achievements is to get out of the foreign wars.
Even if a majority don't - if they don't give a crap then they're irrelevant. If they don't care then they'll be happy with whatever the people who do care decide. For those that do give a crap, they are the ones that matter.
If you don't care then just move on. Let the people who do care speak up - and there are many of them and they vote.
You guys have an obsession with something that is just not important. On the hierarchy of “what people care about”, people want cheap consumer goods, and they want full supermarket shelves.
The majority will not be willing to trade the hypothetical concept of an “independent fishing policy” for the possible reality of lorries piling up in Dover and causing trade issues.
If you suggest otherwise, you’re deluded. You just are. Go out and speak to people.
Race really is a stupid human invention, but it's hard to break out of it.
The country will have full supermarket shelves and cheap consumer goods either way.
When push comes to shove, the majority of people will not choose to trade their existing jobs and livelihood so that Michael Gove can get on board a fishing boat wearing a yellow coat in the North Sea and wave the Union Jack.
We have a balance of trade deficit on seafood which is insane given our coastal island status. Given we are a coastal island with major stocks of seafood as a natural resource why do we have a balance of trade deficit on seafood, that is madness. But it is less insane when you realise that we only get one quarter of our stocks.
Plus a significant chunk of our exports already go to outside the EU27 anyway and some of what is exported to the EU27 is frozen anyway.
Getting 4x the stocks would be profitable even if at a lower margin.
"The UK is preparing to build lorry parks in up to 29 parts of the UK in order to deal with the additional checks required after Brexit.
Boris Johnson's government on Thursday changed the law to give itself the authority to grant emergency planning permission for "temporary" lorry parks across the country, Bloomberg reported."

Of course they are brave; nasty, dangerous job. But in reality it's a tiny proportion of our GDP.
This year, how the fuck can you tell how well it is performing!

The UK is way, way, way on down the table.
*to a tiny, tiny minority who should get to dictate the terms of our trade agreement with the EU, obvs.
There is only one party that will lose out if the UK gets 100% of our waters - and it is not the UK.
When things actually start to change, we’ll see if people are happy with our new reality.
You I presume have been in the UK these past few months. Can you really make such a claim so blithely?!
DFG!
So apparently if we don't have a trade deal then supposed British fishermen will have access to 4x the catch but go bust as a result and EU consumers will lose billions of pounds of catch from their shelves and plates but not object. Wut?
We don't eat much fish. You walking past a queue at your local chippie notwithstanding.
We've just been through a major stress test and came through it intact.
And I'm loving the serves them bloody well right tone to your post.
They do know that for some reason the Government is obsessed with it though, and thus they are using it for leverage.
Would you be happier as (I presume you're a Biden backer/supporter) seeing Dem registrations at 58k whilst GOP is over 200 ?
Now I accept deep sea fishermen would win from a No Deal. They can catch considerably more fish and be able to sell enough of it even with EU tariffs to come out ahead.
Deep sea fishermen are a minority albeit a high profile one within the UK fishing industry. The rest of the industry loses out if there is No Deal. You would be compromising their interest for those of Deep Sea fishermen. Which is a reasonable thing to do but that is the choice you are making.
If there is No Deal that has negative consequences for almost everyone else outside fishing. You would be compromising the interest of the vast majority for that of a tiny minority. Again you can choose to do this, but I suggest it is getting increasingly difficult to justify.
2018 the UK imported £3.28 billion in seafood and exported £1.87 billion. A trade deficit of £1.41 billion pounds.
Despite the fact we're an island nation with 4x the stocks than we are currently catching.
I predict a majority of Leavers will blame the EU and a majority of Remainers will blame Johnson.
Because we had empty shelves in supermarkets during the global pandemic and you are now seeking to add chaos via new rules on trade which are likely to empty those shelves again.
Again. The shelves were empty as recently as a few months ago. Empty.
But he also says that even if there are negative consequences, people won’t care because independent fishing policy, or something.
Consider me sceptical.
The EU imports £1.11 billion of seafood from us . . . but that is only from what we catch ourselves. On top of that they also get 75% of the catch from UK waters.
If that vanishes overnight then what do you think is going to replace it?
The shelves were not empty a few months ago. I was able to get stock from the shelves constantly for everything except toilet paper as a unique product. The shelves were never completely empty.
In one week at the peak of it I went to the supermarket and they had no chicken so I bought something else instead. Its called substitution, a well known economic effect. By the next week they had chicken again.
Sitting in a ferry off Calais while Monsieur le Douane works his way through the paperwork won't do it a lot of good.
The EU catches 75% of the stocks in our waters genius.
