Boris Johnson delivered his press conference on Christmas Eve, concluding a Brexit trade deal that will split the EU and the UK, while tying a link with a subtle fish motif in a nod to one of the key cases of the curious conversations.
Despite the fact that the British fishing industry was not dependent on just 0.1% of the country’s GDP, it became a symbol of voter desire to “take back control”.
Many had complained that continued years of overfishing by EU countries and the quota system had damaged the industry.
In Johnson’s news, he emphasized the “prodigious” rise in fishing catches and said the UK would now be allowed to keep it.
Downing Street agreed to conditions that would see 25% of the catch with European fleet value in UK waters “recovered”.
But Barrie South, head of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, said the prime minister had considered consuming fish, saying his business would be “disappointed” that a European fisherman was still allowed within 12 miles of Britain’s coast.
This is not the first time in a Brexit debate that the appearance of public figures seems to be an issue.
When Ms. Hale sat down to deliver a high court ruling on whether Johnson’s pruroguing parliament in 2019 was legal, many people’s eyes were drawn to the silver spider that seemed to be slowing down. up her shoulder.
The badge was considered a code sign that the Prime Minister was locked in with a court ruling that his move was illegal. The designed T-shirts raised more than £ 5,000 for Shelter in the hours following its announcement.
At the state opening of parliament after the 2017 general election, the Queen wore a lilac hat with several flowers on it, with blue petals and yellow centers. Some immediately withdrew parallel to the EU flag with Brexit going on to gain the upper hand over Theresa May’s prime role.
Away from Brexit, in the US the first woman, Melania Trump, was seen wearing a coat with the slogan “I don’t care. Do you? “on her back, as her husband was increasingly resisting criticism.
Despite an initial refusal – and saying it was “just a jacket” – Melania later said in an interview that it was “a kind of message, yes”.
