Lets Get Real:
Thus we have two tracks, we have the trade talks in Brussels and then we have the above, the EU has promised this for weeks, it can be seen as sabre rattling, trying to show it is strong. On the trade talks the PM has given a deadline of the 15th of October, so far there is no talk of extending this deadline, in less the talks have progressed. If the EU is still being stubborn the UK should walk out and blame the EU. It depends how far Germany will allow Paris to demand the same fish level it has now in the Channel. If Berlin can not get Paris to back down, then we have a problem, the UK has given a concession, it has talked and tabled a phased reduction of EU States in the Channel, it is very symbolic for the UK, if the France does not allow the EU to back down then we have a NO DEAL BREXIT. There is talk of the talks going on in till November, this would be a mistake, the UK has set a deadline, it should resolve any problems with the EU or just walk away.
