For the life of me, I don’t get it - fishing is a rather small segment of the overall British economy; to get so hung up on this is irrational. But then again, Brexit is an exercise in irrationality, so maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised.

“Rule, Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves!”

It gave them Empire. It gave them pride, it gave them a common history, and in WW2 it kept them alive.
