ARTE, a public TV channel, has visited #Hull and #Grimsby. They have spoken to people & walked the streets. I will try & highlight some of it below.
Please, this is what @BBCNews & @BBCPanorama need to do.
Talk. To. Real. People.

The '22 report focuses on & speaks to fishermen as hopeful, core supporters of Brexit, Catching up with them, so to speak.
They describe their hopes for Brexit, then show us a fish auction at Grimsby. Now, almost all the fish auctioned there is from Iceland.Delivered by lorry.

A fish'n'chip shop, now almost all of the fish served is from Iceland, too, at almost double the price (Β£140->Β£220). The price for peas has gone up, bc there are no EUworkers to harvest. It's impossible to pass this on to customers. "This is Grimsby." So they reduce portions.

A trawler with an apprentice, trained on the job. The fisherman says that for those without academic background it's important to learn a trade, a skill. Except, will there now be a future, a job?

When asked, they all point their fingers at #BorisJohnson. They believed his promises of being able to negotiate better deals with Iceland & Norway. Of trawlers not allowed to fish w/in the 12 mile zone. Of things getting better.

But instead of things getting better, they are now getting worse.
Just look at those towns.
The streets with shops boarded up.
My heart.

In German, and without Schadenfreude, the report is called
Brexit ja, Zukunft nein
Brexit yes, future no
No-one has to believe this. So how about @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News you go there yourself?
