Boris Johnson denies responsibility*
for Brexit fishing licence delays
French fishermen blockade British catches arriving on the continent in protest at new UK bureaucracy
Further blockades could be disastrous for the UK industry, which is already suffering from the effects of Brexit. Two-thirds of UK-caught fish are exported to the continent, and some seafood exporters say the new border controls are wreaking havoc on their businesses.
However, Downing Street on Friday denied responsibility for the delays in issuing licences to the French fishermen and said the reaction was “unjustified”.
Imagine: all those happy fish caught in british waters by happy english fishermen, stranding on the beaches of normandy. What a waste!
