My comment on: Gove’s armada: UK fishing stocks to be protected from EU trawlers post-Brexit
This reminds me of the comedy TV series Yes Minister with ministers throwing out small nuggets to appease the voters. The real question should be about the value of UK fishing stocks and how much Britain is prepared to allocate in negotiating a free trade agreement. It does look nice as a headline, though, putting Britain at the helm in its battle for sovereignty.
British fishing stocks will be guarded from EU nations’ trawlers by a post-Brexit armada. Environment Secretary Michael Gove will get his own navy to prevent French, Spanish and other boats from fishing illegally in UK waters.

Well Brexiteers do get quite excited when headlines change from 'Brexit delivers nothing!' to 'Brexit delivers something of no value!'
