That should save the corporation a few million every year.

Will he present his last match of the day with a towel on his head?

Why is everyone in the UK being forced to listen to the opinions of fishermen?

Torpedo the whole fleet, preferably with Jimmy Buchan still on board

It's boat owners that spout the shyte. The poor trawlermen get a raw deal from the owners. Always have and always will.

There is an easier option. Stop eating and buying fish.

UK fishing was always the perfect industry to use in negotiating with the EU. We have a load of fish in our waters that we don't eat. People in Europe love it. It makes perfect sense to allow them access to it. But yeah, it's been taken on as bullet point of brexit, bringing back control to the British people. No idea why.

While I'm logged in I don't really get the pile on on Starmer. He's not been great but I reckon he's been kind of just getting on with the job. I don't pay too much attention to politics these days but in my view he's showing continued support for Ukraine, his party managed to relatively ease the markets after the tory experiments, they seem to be going in the right direction with energy and although a lot of people saw him as sucking up to Trump, I feel that, unfortunately that's exactly what was needed.
