      I reckon a deal has been done. If you saw Boris at the Covid-19 press conference today - everytime someone mentioned Brexit - he found it difficult to hide a grin.

                      Another French fisherman Hugo LePretre added: "There are scores and scores of boats, foreigns ones from Belgium or Holland, and the local boats.

                      "The French waters are completely scrapped out. The little we haul in, we catch in British waters.



                      French fishermen fighting with other fishermen?

                            Surely not, what politician would do that?
                            I fully expect a press conference at some time today along the lines of
                            Good news; we have a Brexit deal and it's a great deal for everybody (don't read the small print folks)
                            Bad news total national lockdown and travel ban until Easter.

                              Very much so. The largest tax paying sector (financial services) is not included so the new EU offices will be taking over large chunks of the business previously done in the UK.

                                I got a bad feeling that our fishing has been sacrificed, same as when Ted Heath handed it all over when we first joined but never asked parliament.
