... that the fish for finance tradeoff in EU–UK trade negotiations pits an industry that accounts for nearly 7 per cent of the UK's GDP against one with less revenues than Harrods?

- ALT1:... that the consequences of failing to resolve the fish for finance tradeoff in EU–UK trade negotiations may include violence on the high seas and blockades of European ports?Source: "Britain's leading expert on international fisheries law believes that, following a no-deal Brexit, there would be 'a real risk' of serious violence breaking out between British and EU fishermen, many of whom depend on access to UK fishing grounds for their economic survival ... As soon as the UK government tries to prevent continental European fishermen from continuing to fish in UK waters, French (and potentially other continental European fishermen) are likely to blockade UK fish (and possibly other) exports to continental Europe by physically stopping UK refrigerated trucks as they attempt to drive inland from continental Channel ports. Indeed, the director of one major French fishing fleet has stated publicly that, if his boats are stopped from fishing in British waters, his men will physically stop UK fish from entering France.

Comment: The article I've spent most of the pandemic working on in draftspace. Ideal date to run it would be October 15, sort of the informal deadline for reaching the basics of an agreement, after which everyone starts preparing for no deal.

This is a very impressive article on an important subject and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:51, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
