EU rules for ALL third countries are the same - it is NOT possible to make an exception for the UK - if the Eu did that, they would have countless law suits against them for breaking trade agreements.

Channel 4 aren't blaming the EU for this debacle. At 1.21 they even point out that we are now a 3rd country outside the EU and therefore bound by different rules. If you look at this piece it is actually 2 reports. The first looks at fishermen who just believed everything they were told without checking, and they've now got what they wanted, it might not be what they expected, but they've got their wrexit. The second part looks at fishermen who looked a bit further than the rhetoric, did a bit of checking and saw what damage could be caused and were taken out. They saw there would be delays etc. Unfortunately all they're left with is barbed comments about BoJo and his government. If all fishermen had bothered to read up about 3rd country rules they may have voted like the Scots guy. Although, you'll always have your June Mummerys.

It's a real shame that Scotland was dragged out of the EU after the main reason they didn't vote for independence in 2014 was cuz theyd loose EU membership. They really need to get another referendum

[@floraflowers]

I recall there were talks back then about possibly allowing Scotland some type of EU membership of they gained independence but since nothing was certain, they preferred to stay. Now imagine if the EU had said that they would indeed allow EU perks for Scotland and they would have left, gosh, the way they would be laughing at Brexit now...

[@seankavanagh7625]

@@floraflowers There's a rule which prevents that. Ironically it will also work in Scotland's favour this time. If a nation secedes from a current member of the EU then that nation is not allowed to apply to join the EU. So if Scotland had left in 2014 it would have been out of the UK and out of the EU. Brexit means that they won't be leaving a current member to join up so there's nothing stopping them applying now. Furthermore, one of the Brexiteers main hopes is that Spain would veto Scotland for them on the argument it would give Catalonia hopes for independence. Spain has been reassured by the EU that this isn't a possibility for as long as they remain in the EU, Catalonia will not be accepted and Scotland joining has no bearing on it. Ironically keeping Spain close to the chest while allowing Scotland's it's way back in. It's very Game of Thrones.

Margaret Thatcher will never need to worry about her heating bills unlike millions suffering privatisation, austerity and Brexit.

[@JohnSmall314]

@@safirahmed "Margaret Thatcher will never need to worry about her heating bills unlike millions suffering privatisation, austerity and Brexit." Margaret Thatcher was strongly in favour of the EU. In fact the EU single market was created by the UK under Margaret Thatcher because she believed in the benefits of free trade. She would have been horrified by Brexit. So you can't lay the blame for Brexit on M Thatcher. Although Thatcher did accelerate the closure of the UK coal industry and created great hardship for many people, she was also responsible for getting the Montreal Protocol through to completion. Before M Thatcher got behind it the negotiations were going nowhere. The Montreal Protocol was about cutting back ozone depleting cloro-fluro-carbons (CFCs). If that protocol had not been implemented then by now we would not have the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere and life on land would by now be impossible due to high intensity UV radiation. No one is ever all good or all bad. One should always be careful not to think that because someone did some bad things, that everything they ever did must be bad.

[@safirahmed]

@@JohnSmall314 Margaret Thatcher wanted to abolish the NHS and the welfare state and opposed German reunification. Margaret Thatcher also supported Augusto Pinochet and working with the good part of the Khmer Rouge against the Communists. Margaret Thatcher and Thatcherism is responsible for many of the problems in British society and without Thatcherism the UK would still be an EU member state.

I recently had a good giggle. With the Brexit agreement barely signed between UK and EU in December 2020, Jersey unilaterally decided to impose its rules on French fishermen forgetting that Jersey fishermen sell 80% of their fishing in the Breton and Norman ports. And when some 70 very angry French fishermen did a blockade of the port of Jersey, Bojo and his gang decided to send two patrol boats to Jersey in response to the fishermen's blockade, followed by two French patrol boats just in case it would turn ugly. French politicians suggested that Jersey's electricity supply fed by undersea cables from France could be cut off in retaliation for Jersey placing limitations on the extent to which French boats can fish in the island's waters.
