The UK has been signing Free Trade deals, left, right and centre by ceding sovereignty and agreeing on level-playing fields and arbitration mechanisms with other countries in the world. Apparently the only place the UK cannot do that is with the EU because only against the EU does the UK deploy the "national sovereignty" narrative but not with the US, Japan or anyone else.
The fishing demands of the UK are preposterous when the UK is seeking to punish European fishermen and disrupt their trade and industry while trying to agree on a deal that allegedly seeks to avoid disruption for trade & industry. European fishermen are apparently the children of a lower God and must be sacrificed in the altar of British nationalism and special feelings.If European fishermen are better at British ones all across European waters is because they have made better investments and decisions than their British counterparts. You would not expect a liberal capitalist nation like Britain to destroy their business while posing as the country who wants free trade & competition with the world and in the name of nationalism of all things.
Other British industries are better than their European counterparts and have been competing on the same basis as before, why should British fishermen be any special and why should European fishermen be punished? Where does British exceptionalism begin and end exactly?
It should be obvious to any rational British person that irrationally insisting on a deal that disrupts only European business, is not possible on any level by the EU. They will take no-deal anytime over a deal that secures all British industrial interests but at the same time dismantles an entire industry on the other side of the channel.
