Not sure what our fisherman wanted, or expected. The tories have predictably thrown them under the bus, no way will the scots tories vote down brexit to protest against this....dream on.

70% of the UK landed catch is exported to the EU, the fish we like to eat simply isn't found in UK waters anymore (and largely has never been, the major decline in the UK fishing fleet is not the EUs fault but the Cod wars)

Also now becoming clear is the true extent to which the public were misled by Cambridge Analytica's corruption and propaganda. The common links ? Putin/trump/bannon/breitbart/farage/cambridge analytica.

A referendum on the terms of the final deal seems fair now. But sadly unlikely.

If the truth be told, the fishermen in NE Scotland represent a Little Britain mentality in miniature TBF! Single issue voters who have failed to appreciate the 'big picture' and their importance in it. It's understandable: the EU means other nations' fishing boats in Scottish waters. So anyone offering to end it would get their vote - firstly Gove and the 'leave campaign' and then the toerags took advantage! Of course, these fishermen didn't perceive a scenario riddled with broken promises and unaware of their negotiation power or economic importance within the larger UK picture - their cause would be regarded as 'not so important' and could be 'traded off' for another more 'juicy' part of a final brexit deal. It is an excellent example of the mindset of No voters and Brexiters in those NE fishermen (who voted No and Leave) who now feel 'sold out' by the UK govt.
