pellinore Posted February 23 #1 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Russia has pulled out of a long-standing fishing deal with the UK - and said Britons should "lose weight and get smarter". A 1956 agreement that allowed British boats to fish in the Barents Sea has been ripped up, in the latest sign of growing tensions between Moscow and the West. The fishing deal was signed by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, but Russian politicians have now claimed it was never in the national interest. The UK government said the end of the deal would have "no material impact on our fish supplies".

It will increase prices until someone else fishes the region and dumps their catches onto global markets. To tell you the truth I only eat wild Alaskan Salmon anyway, you see I don`t like the thought of ocean plastic or all the chemicals in farmed fish. What next, will they ban Russian Vodka? That would be major, its better than our UK stuff. Boo!!!! Down with Biden!!!! Sanctioning people before there is any evidence of murder. How dare he impact our national dish. Putin has a point though with fat Brits lol. Edited February 24 by Electric Scooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK effectively banned Russian vodka at the start of the war, imposing 35% tariffs. Most supermarket chains also pulled it from their shelves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
