'Deep down no one knows what will happen if we leave the EU its all speculation'
The port town of Grimsby is seeking Brexit exemption for its seafood industry, despite voting overwhelmingly to leave the European Union in the referendum.
MPs were this week told that seafood should be given special free trade status after Brexit to ensure Grimsby’s industry is not damaged.
Key figures from the industry descended on Westminster to provide the Government with their vision for leaving the EU, outlining how they might tackle several challenges posed by a hard Brexit.
But the industry spokespeople may be hoisted by its own workforce – as the town voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU in the referendum in 2016.
Yet Grimsby's fish processing trade benefits enormously from exports to Europe. The very last thing Grimsby needed was Brexit. Its almost like the fishing industry (the most pro brexit apparently) realise whats going to happen if we leave the EU.
