At one time I thought that the only possible beneficiary from this Brexit farce could actually be the fishermen. But then there were the trawler owners - the maritime equivalent of the grain farmers from East Anglia - bloody hypocrites.

Edit: That article is 20 years old but was what they were talking about there at the time. Remember a trawlerman complaining about the owner selling out to the Spanish. [Post edited 7 Jul 2017 22:12]

Not even sure that UK fisheries will benefit - but remind me - who will benefit from Brexit? [Post edited 7 Jul 2017 22:27]

I'm clueless, who else will benefit? | | | |

Well in the industry that I work in, power stations, oil refineries, many skilled tradesmen have been under cut, through globalism, which is at the heart of the EU.
So personally I will benefit from Brexit and so will many other skilled tradesmen throughout the country.
And instead of bringing cheap labour from Eastern Europe, companies will now need to offer more apprenticeships to British youngsters, something that they have ignored to do, because they could just bring in foreign labour. | | | |

Skilled tradesmen don't get undercut in Germany or Sweden because they have tariff agreements in place. You're talking about a UK problem that has less to do with the EU than the bloody Tories who insist on deregulation. Oh and the German apprenticeship system continues to thrive. Reality is that it's a UK self made problem. You bang on and blame Johnny Foreigner instead of the real culprits.

What do you mean tariff agreements in place ? Do you mean like the blue book agreement that is in place in this country ? [Post edited 8 Jul 2017 11:06]

Similar but in France Germany and Sweden agreements reached between Unions and Employers are extended to include non members and are binding on firms that did not directly sign up to the agreement. In other words they are far more wide ranging. | |

I wonder whether a return to the halcyon days of a vast small-boat fishing fleet is a pipe dream.
- We need quotas to manage stock levels. If not EU ones, there will be significant pressures on the UK govt to have them
- The fishing fleet as a whole (UK & EU registered boats in UK) has shrunk, not UK boats at the expense of EU ones.
- And, critically, EU boats already take very little from our waters than UK registered boats, so excluding EU boats will make little difference (Gove's recent stunt to withdraw from the London fisheries convention, is just that - a stunt. It'll have little practical effect apparently).
It's not something I've got any detailed knowledge of, but in layman's terms I've yet to see an explanation of how UK fishing industry is going to be revived. | | | |

Sounds good in principle, but I wonder what pressure the construction industry will place on the government to access cheaper labour from abroad. We've seen agricultural businesses gain promises of cheaper labour from overseas already. I can't see construction companies losing cheap labour without a fight.
And Davies has already said immigration won't be reduced in the foreseeable, as companies want the workers.
And iof course, with no EU oversight / stability, our labour market conditions will be changing regularly depending on the colour of government in Westminster.
It seems that there are too many unknowns at this point in time to know whether this will be good news or not for UK construction workers. F*ck knows what's going to happen.
PS - I don't think globalisation is going away any time soon. The EU were the wrong target for a protest against that. We'll be needing more foreign investment/ ownership and international trading arrangements, not less. [Post edited 8 Jul 2017 10:09]

What do you mean by non members ? Have you worked under the blue book ? | | | |

Globalisation = living standards going down.
Brexit should just be the start of the fight against globalisation.
The UK needs to educate and train its own people and not leave them live in relative poverty, just to satisfy the globalist. [Post edited 8 Jul 2017 11:17]

Globalisation is not an option, its with us all now.
Its digital and it links the people irrespective of politicians and MSM.
Its really abound how we all make the most of it.
You might as well try to stop the tide coming in. | |

I don't disagree, but I'm not sure it's a Brexit issue. The trouble is that the govt encourages private ownership (often foreign) for profit and therefore the shareholder always comes first. Private investment generates jobs but they'll always want to cut costs and take out profit for the shareholders (with the related issues of foreign ownership taking profits out of the UK and large companies avoiding tax).
I can't see that changing after Brexit - it's in the Tories dna (and new Labour and Lib Dems). The EU don't control our investment/business strategy. So we'll just get the same unless the govt changes.
Corbyn may have been offering an alternative model, but lots of people scoffed at him. | | | |

Non members as in Unions and Employers.
No. | |

They're well within their rights to complain and oppose it. But you're right they need to be a bit less whiny because it grates on you after a while. | |

But that's not "it" though. Not by a long way. | |

How can you text in a less whiny way? | |

| Brexit boom on 14:24 - Jul 8 with 1755 views | jack247 |
Yeah sorry, badly worded.
That's 'it' in terms of getting the vote overruled. | | | |
| Brexit boom on 14:29 - Jul 8 with 1751 views | exiledclaseboy |
I'm not convinced that's the case either. I think there'd be a very strong case for a second referendum when we know the details of the withdrawal agreement and/or the future relationship deal. That way everyone would be voting with full knowledge of what leaving the EU actually means, which wasn't the case the first time round. By then it would be knocking on for three years since the first vote. | |
