Gibraltar is nothing to do with Brexit. The fact that the UK will recover its own fishing grounds when we leave may be tough on the Spanish but so what? Heath got us a very bad fishing deal in 1972; the vote to Leave corrects that. The Spanish should count themselves lucky for 44 years of plundering.<br /><br />As an independent nation we will no longer have to do what the EU tells us. We do what we want, which might include specifying the nationality of the owners, landing fish in the UK, licensing for lots of moolah, or anything else.Budgienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-12873060338545506432017-04-02T08:33:13.013+01:002017-04-02T08:33:13.013+01:00What is it the EU says about the Brexit deal ........What is it the EU says about the Brexit deal ...... it cannot be as good as membership of the Single Market.<br /><br />Someone should tell the Spanish that cuts both ways. The deal as far as fish is concerned won't be as good as the one they're used to. In fact, it's going to be a great deal worse.DeeDee99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753473473887381622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-88935867956763097162017-04-02T07:44:36.997+01:002017-04-02T07:44:36.997+01:00Barnacle Bill - Some of us have Blue Ensigns :-)

Or just ignore it. What are they going to do? Our ships, our flag, our waters, so it our rules. Capiche.<br /><br />I think dragging Gibraltar into this is a big mistake by the EU. Personally, Gibraltar is non-negotiable, and remember the Spanish signed the Treaty of Utrecht 1712 ceding it to us in perpetuity, so they can take a running jump.<br /><br />Incidentally Radders I've got one of those old Part 1 registrations - quite a document. Nowadays it's just a laminated bit of A4.rapscallionnoreply@blogger.com
