The deal to which my entire post refers is a 12 YEAR EXTENSION on the current deal. It's quite feasible that it's that 12 year extension to which I refer...

Anyway as many commentators point out, the reason the EU has the level of access in Uk waters is that UK fishermen sold the licences they had to EU fleets years back!

Lord Heseltine in 2020 - The UK got a lot of licences to fish in our own waters when we joined the European Union... & then we sold those licenses to the Europeans, & that's why they have a bigger share than us.

I?ll take Sam?s word over yours any day

End of discussion from my side

He doesn't "try" to undermine you, he basically does totally destroy your case and as usual when that happens, which is frequently these days, you retire to lick your wounds.
