The reactions were certainly split, but definitely violent: “This is literally what you voted for!” Answered TV host Emma Kennedy. “Thank you for joining the UK Vassal state without a say have made. You voted for it, ”said another user. “It’s one of the most pitiable, involuntary cognitive processes I’ve ever seen,” mocked a third.
Brexit: no more say in catch quotas? User advises to “torpedo boats”
The opposite side resorted to rather brute solutions: “The Royal Navy”, or – more clearly – “torpedoing a few boats” was mentioned.

Brexit: John Bercow also started lamenting
In any case, given the constellations during the talks, it is hardly possible to assume absolute freedom of action. And the times when the UK has a say in EU fishing quotas are definitely a thing of the past. The future fisheries deal is expected to be in mid-2020. At least that’s what the EU wants, how Merkur.de* reported. Incidentally, the Brexit party was against sending delegates to the new parliament – and had recently celebrated the farewell with pithy contributions.
On the other hand, the lamentation is still great: ex-speaker John Bercow complained in an interview with the broadcaster France24, Brexit could have been avoided in autumn – only the opponents of the exit in lower house collaborated. This realization also comes rather late.
