Boris Johnson has claimed British fishers should prepare for an “El Dorado” despite many experiencing difficulties post-Brexit. The PM blamed “complications over form-filling” for the “barriers” some fishers are facing, but told MPs things will improve and fabulous riches await.
Commenting, Best for Britain CEO Naomi Smith said:
“El Dorado is either a mythical city, the search for which has driven explorers to madness and death, or a failed soap opera that got canned early on, as Brexit red tape should be.
“Either way, it’s not the most encouraging news for our struggling fishing industry.
“From Lerwick and Peterhead to Plymouth and Newlyn, those in the fishing and shellfish industries will be looking to the PM for a real-word solution to their problems – not mythical soundbites.”
