When Jacob Rees Mogg threw dead fish into the Thames at WETminster, I thought, like most of you, he was making a point on behalf of the Fishing INDUSTRY.
It was only yesterday that we all learned he was acting on behalf of the FISH.
Fish happiness, not Brexit, was the goal!
In the year before #Brexit started -
(note: Brexit was not done, it's just begun)
- I worried about those most impacted.
My logic was while those wishing to remain would be most disappointed, they would also be most prepared.
#BrexitDeal would hurt its supporters.
Starting ☝️
Two reasons were anticipated.
1. Famously the economic consequences would hurt Leave voters the most (albeit no one expected the madness of combining #Brexit with #Covid19)
2. Sovereignty and independence would be reversed; we'd end up with less of both (as we have).
Number 3?
We didn't spend enough time on No.3. Few anticipated only 15 days of #Brexit would be needed.
Also a dilemma. It would have needed remainers to be listened to. Or leavers to question #Brexit.
3. What happens: A small leave group realise the con; disagree with Leave Mainstream?
No 3: And now
Mogg boasts of having fish back while:
* The fishing industry is in arms; screaming betrayal
* Some fisheries are already bankrupting
* Because fish we can't sell is rotting
Yet Jake's happy the fish are happy.
Almost as if ☝️ he had nothing to do with this
