Thank you for your revealing response Paul.I gather that you voted to Leave because of your intense dislike of the Commission (which, by the way, uses the UK's system for electing office holders prior to Ian Duncan Smith's amendments - truly undemocratic!) - but I would like to think not a dislike of Europe. Needless to say, UK's economy did not come into your equation at all, neither did possible benefits (or otherwise) of leaving.You say that it is too soon to begin to decide on the benefits - or lack of them - from leaving as this will happen over the long term. Well, Rees Mogg said 50 years, did he not?Unlike your statement that hardly any business has left the UK for the EU, the City of London aka the cockpit of UK's economy, has lost its ground as financial centre of the EU to Amsterdam. But, of course, that is irrelevant.And, by the way, the EU are not trying too hard to make our trade with them as difficult as possible; our government has done so unilaterally by deciding on a hard Brexit.So, returning to the subject matter, it seems to me that the problem with fishermen does not bother you much. The fact that fish exporting firms are closing down and fishing boats are staying in port is neither here nor there. Please bear in mind that we were told that fisheries was the sticking point in Brexit negotiations. But Rees Mogg was right, we have very happy British fish! They are having a lovely time swimming in British waters, flying the flag and singing Rule Britannia as they are not being fished - until the continental boat arrive, that is.Well done!And no, I am not frustrated with Brexit. Because of course, the oven ready deal was magnificent in your view and there are, without a shadow of a doubt, no tariffs in our trade with the EU neither are there any barriers whatsoever in trade with them. Just as it was always promised!
