Dear June. I have a Masters Degree covering public international law and EU law. I’ve spent 30 years in commercial law. You are wrong on international law and trade impacts. If you disagree please show me the advice from expert public international lawyers that you rely on.

I implore you to seek expert PIL advice. You’re setting UK fishing up for failure. When UK brexits the EU & EEA will point out Brexiter claims re control are contrary to PIL. Unless UK agrees mutual access we’ll face years of UNCLOS dispute & hv to keep waters open till sorted.

Meanwhile, every single U.K. fishery consignment to the EU will face greater barriers to trade than any other country in the EU & EEA. Adding £100s and (unless EU officials waive EU reqs for 72 hrs prior notice - UK will have no power here) days per consignment. #gutted
