WHAT LIES IN THE SHADOW OF THE STATUE ? <| sep |> That ' s when you mention Japanese internment camps in the US , and say it was practically the same thing in principle <| sep |> The ability to negotiate good trade deals for ourselvesOut of curiosity , what trade deals do you feel we didn ' t have within the EU that you would now be hoping to get ? We already had pretty damn favourable trade deals . Not having half of the fish quota taken from our territorial waters by one Dutch ship . That won ' t change . That wasn ' t an EU thing . The EU quotas are sustainability quotas which we will keep because our country likes fish not being extinct . Those quotas were then distributed by our government who gave the majority of them to large companies who then sold them on to Dutch owned , British registered ships . That will continue to happen because the EU had absolutely nothing to do with how we distributed our quota .
