| In that case they would have been voting to destroy their main export market. More than 90% of UK exports of herring and cod go to the EU. Even if the EU hadn't taken measures to protect the interests of its fishermen, do you suppose that French fishermen would have let UK vessels land any fish? And given French unions' propensity to resort to illegal blockades, and even violence, what do you think would have happened to British lorries or British tourists arriving in Calais? Anyone who thinks we could safely have left without a deal is demented. |
