Millions of people don't rely on fishign for their livelihood. Fuck off.
Well more than "a few thousand" do, and many more indirectly. If you live in Cleethorpes, chances are high that you rely on fishing, even if none of your family work in fishing. That's because you live in a town where fishing is very important. Without fishing, the town dies a slow death. Tourism alone won't cut it, certainly not on the cold North-West coast. I think there's a Butlins up there, but it might be a Pontins. They probably employ 50-odd people.

I can't help if the Brexit gang tugged at your heartstrings by promising you they'd look after fishing.
I can't help it if you think Brexit is all about fishing. This is your obsession, not mine.

And besides, from what I've read, the EU will gradually reduce the amount of fish it takes from UK water over the next five years. That's fine. We don't have the resources to restore the industry to it former glory, because fishing has been in decline, but with investment (£100m according to the media) and time we'll get there. That should be good news for towns like Grimsby.

What about the mining towns that have died out then?
Mostly coal, something that is environmentally unviable. We won't even be able to buy coal from 2022. But yes, you're right, the closure of mines destroyed many communities across the country. That wasn't a good thing. Perhaps in the case of coal mining it was unavoidable, that isn't the case with fish because we still eat fish and that isn't going to change.

Don't forget the textile mills in Sheffield that closed down a few decades ago. Don't hear you calling for them to be re-opened, you heartless bastard.
We haven't discussed textiles, but considering most of our textiles currently come from places where children work for a dollar an hour (maybe an exaggeration but not an outright lie) I'd say it would be a good thing to reopen the textile mills. But hey this is Sheffield, a city that doesn't rely on one industry.

I'm guessing you're in favour of cheap textiles seeing as you love globalism? Fuck the working conditions of people in India.

I see you told me to fuck off and called me a heartless bastard. I guess my "wanker" comment touched a nerve.
