[Hymie]

Fish in British waters are happier that Brexit happened.

What a silly thing to say, and I know, I’ve seen a happy fish.

[Sunk]

You’re just trawling.
I’m mean trolling.
Attacking JRM is your bait.

I’ll have you know he is very clever, latin is his first language, he is posh, and everyone else should know their plaice.

[Paigntonian]

J R-M was attempting a little irony when he said fish are happier. It wasn't intended to be serious. For goodness sake!

[royfromaus]

It's not normal.

[jno]

while I too think he was joking, he was none the less hinting that British fish were happier, therefore British people should be too. Whereas in reality it seems British fisherpersons are not, but he's just joked about their problems.

[Old_Geezer]

Happy food is tastier food.

[royfromaus]

Off course he was joking.
Putting up a thread in News about a man joking is not normal.

[brainiac]

Tell that to all the Scottish fishermen who, because of the bureaucratic nightmare that has been put in their way, now can't export their live catch to Europe, and are losing a small fortune.

That geezer is a complete eejit,i will be lucky to have a job in a few weeks time and these upper-class tw*ts are making a joke out of it.The seafood industry is vital to the Scottish economy and 90% of our products go to Europe.....(Well, are not going to Europe because of Brexit red tape.)

//The Scottish Seafood Association has warned the problem is likely to get worse in the coming days as the pace of trade increases.
Delays in Scotland are due to the time it takes to get an Export Health Certificate for both wild-caught fish and farmed salmon.
This is a newly-required stipulation following the UK's exit from the European Customs Union last week.
Vets are required to sign off each consignment and it is claimed they are taking up to six times longer than expected to do so.//

“ At this the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle intervened and noted: 'Obviously there's no overwhelming evidence for that.'”

Ah, Lindsay Hoyle
Such a disappointment
That’s his peerage gone ...

[ichkeria]

You’d hope he was joking although when JRM says it you can’t help feeling there’s a place deep down near the seabed of his murky soul that believes it.
And the DM is reporting it as news so fair game I’d say

[mushroom25]

he is of course correct. EU fishermen can't catch them and although UK fishermen could, the can't sell them if they did, so they won't.

result - laughing happy fish that won't end up in someone's soup - or anywhere else.
