Fishy Britishness

In his capacity as representative of the common working man, the strutting Caudillo of the Farage Falange has put himself forward as mascot to a protest flotilla of anti-EU fishing boats. The organisers argue that leaving the EU is a no-brainer for fishermen, because Britain is unable to represent itself in negotiations because half a dozen other nations are involved, and negotiations where other people are involved are, of course, a waste of time. If Britain left the EU, apparently there would be lots more people on our side, quite apart from the fact that our former partners among the Euro-wogs would naturally be giving their all to oblige us. The strutting Caudillo himself has been a member of the European parliament's fisheries committee, during which time he defended the interests of the little fisher folk in all of one out of forty-two meetings; which doubtless explains why he was too busy to take part in any votes on reforming fisheries policy.
