Fish Merchant Will Never Forget The Day He Met Johnson

[gulliver1]

Mr Perkes. Fish merchant .."Brixham Devon" , said it was a typical "rumbunctious" performance from Johnson, extolling the virtues of Brexit , and the huge benefits it would bring to my business, and I should start to expand my premises and take on more staff .That we would be so busy we would take the fish of the French, and to look forward to a very very prosperous future That was.. Jan 2021. "BUT " since Brexit, trade is 30% down, and is contemplating giving up entirely on the export side ,which was 75% of of his trade and having to axe twelve of his staff. My question to the loyal supporters of Boris on A.B
Do any of you think Johnson was telling lies again ??????.

Gulliver, if you can copy and paste text - which you have done because I searched the article you're referring to - why can't you copy and paste links?

[Zacs-Master]

Gulli, did you read down to the bit which says ‘ In 2022, Brixham’s fishing fleet smashed the record when £60.8m of fish was traded in the port’

[naomi24]

^That's why he doesn't post links. Heaven forbid that anyone should actually read them in full.

From the link Zacs posted.

"In 2022, Brixham’s fishing fleet smashed the record when £60.8m of fish was traded in the port.

The success of the Brixham Fish Market is a silver lining for the UK fishing industry, which had struggled to find ways to cope with the impact of the UK’s departure from the European Union.

The market puts its success down to high fish prices as demand remained, and the success of the group’s online auctions and newly-built boats fishing from the port.

Boats from other ports in Cornwall, the South and South East of England, and south Wales have also been landing their fish in Brixham as prices on the auction were so favourable.

Barry Young, managing director of Brixham Trawler Agents, believes the market will have to expand due to demand. “The biggest issue we face is space,” said Mr Young. “With the additional volumes of fish, Brixham has outgrown the market that was built in 2011 when the values of fish landed were approaching £20m.”"

The herd have pointed out that the article you referred to (but for some reason couldn’t be bothered to link to) to further your Brexit Boris bashing wasn’t the best.

[bobbinwales]

I think that's gullivers way of changing the subject as his post has been found to be flawed

[Zacs-Master]

‘saying things that re untre is not lying’

No it’s sheer stupidity.

[bobbinwales]

Are we talking about gullivers post or boris generally Zacs

[bobbinwales]

Both imo

[Bobbisox1]

Gully won’t post a link as people keep asking him to, Why?because this gives him some kind upper hand ( he thinks) he’d rather insult and lie as well as obsess about Boris

[bobbinwales]

Gulliver must work as a secret agent for the new 'office of boris Johnson' he told us about.....his roll is to make Boris knockers look unreasonable.

[bobbinwales]

Boris lost credibility along time ago...but his not the only one

[naomi24]

I 'heart' Boris. :o)

[gulliver1]

"I was ...."taken in by Boris"
says the fish merchant. Well that wasn't too difficult so was 75% of Abers.

[naomi24]
