And that's fine with the EU as long as he secures his fish and then let's the EU get on with the deal. But Frau Merkel will not be happy if he messes things up for everyone just because of his stupid fish. Ze Germans have loads of cars they want to sell us... and they don't need our fish. Nor do many other EU member states who don't fish in our waters anyway.
But also we don't need our own fish... or, at least, we don't eat them. It seems that we fish herring that we mostly export to Norway and the Netherlands, and we fish shellfish, lobsters, crabs and langostines that we mostly export to France and Spain. But we like to eat Cod and Haddock which we import in great numbers. So the UK imports 70% of the fish it eats, and exports 80% of what it catches.
Toys for boys... now, if Trump managed to refrain from pressing that big red button on his desk during the four years he was in office in the US, surely Macron can stop playing with his Veto right and set it aside.
You forget, Mr macron is French
The French are always right
The French have the right to have whatever they want
They won the war
