THREAD of LEGENDS

To mark #3Years since the largest vote for anything in the UK’s history let’s celebrate the MPs, who by their actions in Parliament, have kept our #Brexit dream alive. They are an elite band of #BrexitSpartans. Every one a #BrexitLegend

THREAD OF BREXIT THREADS

The history of Brexit is short & long at the same time

The real battle to Leave started after we actually voted to do it, but the tale starts long before. Some threads:

#ABrexitDiary

A trot through 2013-2020 & the assault on democracy by the Revoke & Remain brigade. Watch as they cook their own goose. It was a tense but epic journey with Brexit the ultimate prize.

/2
#TheEUNoOneVotedFor

Even before we joined the EEC, we the voters were cut out of the decision making process. Here you can see the evolution of a trading bloc into a federalist monster. Something we never voted for. And why we voted to Leave. Others will follow.

BREXIT 2013-2020 - A THREAD
(Including the Tragicomedy of Remain)

It’s taken 7 years from the first seeds of a referendum but now, finally, from 1/1/2021 we are free to chart our own path.

Here are some of the memories - the good, bad, ugly & more...

23/1/2013 - David Cameron @ Bloomberg

We can’t expect the British people to keep accepting a European Settlement over which they’ve had little choice...
"that is why I’m in favour of having a referendum"

Well said Sir

BREXIT THREAD - A FISH TAIL

So what’s all the fuss about? Best place to start is here:

"Under the European Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) the UK *ceded* control of fisheries within the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (UKEEZ) to the EU"

This is the crux of the matter. Why?

/1
In 2018 1.945m Tonnes of Fish & Shellfish were landed in the UKEEZ

By Fleet, in Tonnes

UK - 555,000 (29%)
EU27 - 860,000 (44%)
Other - 527,000 (27%)

71% landed by non-UK boats due to the CFP and/or European Commission agreements with 3rd countries

/2
UK boats have less than 1/3rd of the UKEEZ pie
