PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[karanight]

Which rules are those?

Britain used to enjoy fishing areas that extended up to 200 miles from our coast. Under the terms under which we joined the EU, this distance was reduced to just 12 miles and that has to be renewed every 10 years

Oh, hello Mr Bartholomew.

What he failed to mention is that the UK signed up the the London Fisheries Convention 10 years before joining the EEC.

 

[hash tag]

Lost another seat, now down to a majority of one. Has he gone yet?

 

[Humberto]

No Boris Johnson is still the prime minister even though noone voted for him.-*

 

[hash tag]

Seriously, how did that happen...i shall wake and find its just a nightmare.

 

[Humberto]

You’re right, the fisheries policy was signed back in 1957 but as the EU got more and more powerful, (even resulting in the EU declaring that their laws come before our own. We are no longer a sovereign nation)
Back to the discussion
What the EU did was to say that all countries have a 12 mile exclusion zone for fishing. The rest is a free for all and as we are an island this meant that we were losing fishing rights
Generally, a countries exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, extending seaward to a distance of no more than 200 miles
We used to have that amount of fishing area but not anymore.
These arguments apply where there is a 400 mile distance between countries. So that means for example the Scottish fishing areas are drastically reduced, as are many other parts of the UK
Why do you think that the fishing industry’s dying in the UK

 

[existentialist]

Actually, your comment gives the impression that you know nothing about the things you're posting
[font=Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The EU are supposed to have laws to safeguard rights of EU citizens. Allowing governments to charge horrendous student fees to those just starting out in life goes against what the EU is supposed to champion [/font][/COLOR]
zero hours contracts- Ditto

If you could just sort out your monstrously fucked-up quoting, we might be in with a fighting chance of figuring out exactly what it is you're maundering on about this time...[/COLOR][/font][/SIZE]

Nothing to do with any of the half-arsed shite you've typed out thus far from the Bumper Book of Boris Bullshit.

So, the UK was basically entitled to fish almost up to the French, Dutch, Belgian, and Danish coasts, and you don't think there was anything wrong with that?

Or that there's something wrong with the notion that it was reasonable to more equitably divide up the exclusive fishing areas, and put in place regulations and quotas to prevent overfishing? Really?

FWIW, the Common Fisheries Policy was set up in 1970, even before we'd joined the (as was) EEC. There's quite a lot of information on the following link:

Common Fisheries Policy

But it is fact-based, so you may not like it much.

Also, the various maritime limits (12/12/200/etc) were agreed at the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (where, like the EU, the UK government has always had a say, and a disproportionately larger degree of input than many parties involved).

karanight writing things large doesn't bolster your case, it makes you look like a sad arse with the social graces of a trebly incontinent stupid misanthrope.

[Proper Tidy]

Stop replying to him ffs

 

[sim667]

should contact Ch4 news or the Guardian about that.

Well I linked the guardian to the thread I wrote, but obviously they may not have seen it as I took it all down after she said she'd reported it to the police and I started getting the death threats. I just can't be arsed with the hassle.

I've been looking for a blog or something that publishes that kind of thing that I can just send it all to.

Couldn't you just stick it up on here - there's bound to be a few well-anonymised types who are happy to carry the torch...?

I'm not sure if I've got the screen grabs still...... but in effect, there's a twitter user called preeti_v, who's been posting photoshopped images (really badly photoshopped images) and then in the comments saying they've been photoshopped, but then in other comments saying they haven't (she's called out repeatedly on it). However if you look at her profile, she runs a meda company that has something to do with rugby, you can go to the homepage for that and in the "team" section there's her details... If you chuck her name into companies house there's details of the media company she runs, and if you google search her name her facebook profile pops up, she's pictured with boris johnson, google searches also show she's the seconder for Councillor elections in the constituency which I think is next to BoJo's...... I mean it could all be coincidence, but it just seems fishy to me. So I was just gonna keep an eye and see if she keeps pumping out fake images etc.

That image was shared a few thousand times, and its probably been shared a few thousand more times off the back of those shares, so it very much went viral.

Just reading her tweets, she's a nasty piece of shit.

I thought maybe I was being overly suspicious, but then this story broke the next day

Revealed: Johnson ally’s firm secretly ran Facebook propaganda network

 

[kabbes]

So Johnson loses another from his majority. Just 1 now. He’s going to be forced to call an election at some point, one would think, just out of not commanding a majority any more.

 

[Supine]

"Preeti_v - raging thatcherite brexiteer, don't do PC"

Sounds like a great gal!!!

I'm not sure if I've got the screen grabs still......

See post #1042.

Yes, thats exactly the episode documented there.

I didn't say that, Go back to school and learn to read

Ooh, ouch. That's cut me to the quick, that has. It was also quite a blatant attempt to divert attention from the idiocy of your own point of view

 

[weltweit]

A majority of 1.

I imagine that must be focussing the minds a little. Well quite a few minds at that.

The Eu didn't say that, nor did the EEC. The 400 miles thing was bollocks, as can be seen by the cod wars when Iceland tried to demand the same 'right.' It's abolition was FA to do with the EU (or the EEC)
