He doesn't care as he will have no input in its implementation.

Interesting a comment from EU fishermen regarding brexit and a claim that will not be fishing in UK waters.

Response was "How are they going to stop us" and when told it will be by a "Fisheries protection vessel / RN Warship". They just responded "20 trawlers over a 1000 sq mile ocean area can not be all arrested and a single arrest means vessel has to escort trawler to shore. We are part of a fishery coop, therefore arrested trawler gets a share of what they other 19 catch."
