no it does not have a brexit agenda,it is a very educating illuminative documentary it reveals how complicated livelihoods are in Grimsby, if people listened instead of making shallow facile remarks they might learn something.

well apropos Grimsby , some of the pro brexit fishing myths are debunked , yet the usual clowns can only make facile puerile fish jokes. why dont you listen? if this documentary had been given the exposure it deserved at the time of the brexit vote, the vote might possibly have been different

What about those inland Welsh fisheries?

"Whale kipper whelk-ome in the hillsides..."

Dick, you started a UK political thread. Making a rod for your own back. All we're doing is trying to rescue it from the mods by trying to fillet with levity. Trying to keep it afloat. So stop purse seine your lips...


'A float." See what I just did there?

I wish you people would realize when something's a British Politics thread, and knew it's plaice. I've had it up to the gills with these threads.

I’ve already suggested it should be transferred to the U.K. Politics thread. And maybe a quiet word with the bloke who keeps opening them?

It won't work. Eel just keep opening them. I'm sure you'll soon let minnow if I'm wrong...

I bet you could play for the halibut they don't accept gob irons in an orchestra. My friend Lin applied but couldn't play any classical instruments. It did marlin's chances.
