company switched its focus the shellfish with on nails in the coffin as we've gone along. but i think we're getting to the end of a now where we're getting down to the last threw nails and nazi, you know, and it's true audi it's, it's, it's really odd with the rules and regulations to keep going. we'll just keep putting more more rules on yet many local fishermen have long since given up there and still has 3 vessels manned by 3 cruise. he's managed to keep his business afloat, but like many here, he'd penned his hopes on breaks it. he thought he'd be free from brussels bureaucracy and e u fishing quotas. one politician in particular, had promised fishermen that breaks it would revive their fortunes. boris johnson visited grimsby on the campaign trail. martin boyer is his chief executive of
11:19 am
grimsby fish market, a british institution for the last 80 years seafood, destined for restaurants and fish and chips. shops across the country is sold here . a daily auctions overseen by the boss himself. one of the, one of the faces of the fishing industry, which way find hearing grimsley isn't as follows. emotionally to the bugs is a very high profile subject coverage with that's exactly what boris johnson took advantage of the region as part of what's known as the red wall. the british constituencies that have traditionally voted labor i visited in late december 2019, just a few days before britain went to the polls in
11:20 am
a general election. i incumbent prime minister theresa may was bogged down and exit negotiations with the e. u. and rex it hard liner, boris johnson was determined to unseat her. here in grimsby, he pulled out all the stops. i. so he came on recently made a great story because he came out with the future. so anytime any of the politicians wants a project, the fisherman is of the human he's always been ah, therein is getting a boat ready to go out. he uses crab scraps as bait for welcome looking back, he realizes that bracket was used as bait in the last election to in
11:21 am
this town. here, we've always voted labor. when boris came down to grimsby and then everybody changed the opinion, he's going to hell bows in this on the over. so. and everybody voted conservatives, especially in grimsby morris. johnson's pledge to help the fishing industry take back control of u. k. waters and increase catches helped him when vo, including darren's, believing that better times, lay ahead. he bought an old trawler. so we've, we've done about all the officials have been here and lived chic to along as we go, we going free stages. so they've done all our and not one of them have said anything to he spent a year renovating it, using up all his savings. he's invested half a 1000000 pounds, over half
11:22 am
a 1000000 euros. and the new vessel, susan, only i draw, it's all new pipes. everything's over on new. zoe. the engine obviously is not new . darren bought the 30 year old trawler from the family of a fisherman who died. but after doing it up, he was in for a rude awakening. because the trawler hadn't been used for 2 years. it was classified as new by the fisheries authority and lost its fishing quota. my argument is, it's been fishing the phase 2 years, and then suddenly again go fishing. i could probably go back fishing, but has told me that after by about half a 1000000 pound for the closure, so it will, will just dead in war. we've got to get rid of it somehow. now we're going to show it the government had promised to cut you red tape. but darren says it's worse than ever. the company's cold storage,
11:23 am
lobster pots and shop are just across the road. darren's wife jenny, takes care of orders and deliveries. she likes working in a family business. her son in law dean is in charge of packaging. her daughter laura process as the shellfish. but when the business is struggling, there's less family time. her they all thought that breaks it would take the pressure off. that's not how it's turned out. ah, we don't have a lie with love to do something different. and not think about going down here. the money wasted on restoring the old fishing boat, left them financially worse off. it weighs on all their minds. hi, so she has an legal needle sleep tonight when about at
11:24 am
hensley ill? so hopefully darren put the trawler up for sale for 400000 pounds. give me a lot less than what he paid for it. every day they check to see if anyone's interested. what will the trouble is? every one here knows that breaks it has left the fishing industry. real english for new equipment, tricks, grow, feel really let down. really let down. we are west of them before i say. so it's been general ways to john for the wish. i therein tied, he's up the dock while one of his boats heads out ah, ah, john steele and a young apprentice are off to catch wealth in the humber estuary.
11:25 am
ah, he's also angry about broken bricks. it promises and thinks boris johnson sold the fishing industry down the river. spanish and french boats are still allowed to fish and the u. k. exclusive economic zone 12 miles from the coast. the government failed to change this in its negotiations with the e u. f. the fisherman holland dozens of these white plastic traps, well clara, delicacy and france, south korea and china with regard to my point is 30000 pound. yeah. on a good, yay. $50000.00 pounds on the body. alchemy, 10000 pounds. we were not in control of a, it was one to me, was in control of that sweet other guarantee anomaly. john
11:26 am
steele isn't employed by darren. like all the local fishermen, he's self employed. they're paid according to what they catch. that means that if things go badly, they can be out on the boat for 3 days, but only earn a few pounds. but they love the freedom of working on the water. apprentice, scott bly has been working with john for 2 months now, and hopes he'll be able to earn a living as a fisherman. despite the challenges. nothing changed right now. i think i feel a little telephone back. i said the phone than people in training calls his fishing holes, you know, whole thing, what, you know, the big ways are the breasts. it was today with the fishing industry filica making blind, even though he's got a great grandma marine commented, is a lot what we also common people think about hello ah,
11:27 am
a few days later grimsby fishermen used to bring their catch directly to the dog at the fish market these days, the biggest sellers are con and haddock, used in fish, and chips explains martin boilers. the bidding process is almost imperceptible, the blink of an eye, a slight nod of ahead. 99995. ah, melissa is on the fish market has been landed by missiles. is all mobile on all of this makes it easy on the market today. all of this here is icelandic valley seasonal in house, mainly for iceland. very high marking boilers, blames ocean warming. pardon haneke, migrated to colder waters off iceland,
11:28 am
greenland and norway. that's where british trawlers fished when britain was part of the e. u. common fisheries policy. boris johnson promised to negotiate better terms, but the u. k. government failed to strike deals with these countries, and fishermen are now facing financial ruin. if the fisherman, a thought about the budget, the race was in the 1st life that would have voted to stay in the you role this whole from the common vision policy was a system in place. so now will the you, guy, goldman and figures are doing a written gauging. what was there in the 1st place? negotiating with no way about reciprocal arrangement on the not getting them though negotiated with iceland, about access to walters on the got go in it. and the whole thing is because of all of the people that thought about leave in and it would also all be rosy. it doesn't happen. growing unemployment and the humber
11:29 am
side area is one result was the city of whole is north of the humber bridge. karl malone works at cave street fisheries, a traditional fish and chip shop. he's also feeling the cold winds of bricks. it it's early in the morning and he's taking delivery of today's fresh fish. now that britain doesn't have any of its own fleets and sub arctic waters, it has to buy fish from norway and iceland. jake, for example, this box of this year would be $1100.00 volts you found prior to breaks if that fish now today is 2 at $220.00 pounds. so obviously the absolves our profit. we cannot pass that. so the customer as their wages are not increasing so that we subsidize the price of the customer,
11:30 am
making it non profitable. 2182 before a to the i over paid last week. right. so 2000 ford, nate. yup. karl malone has had his shop for 38 years, but he's struggling in the wake of breaks it whole is one of the poorest places in britain, fish and chips is the national dish classic working class fair. but these days, it's too expensive for many. again, in the past, i would have sold people would buy a lot sized fish. now that i have the money to pay for this fish on all the us to be go through the smaller fish because then they'll pay the price for the smaller fish. is becoming a luxury for the wagon month. ah. he prepares his ingredients every morning before the 1st customer start arriving around 1130.
11:31 am
there. mushy peas. let just general your local people like down. but even the price is for please have risen since britain left the e u. he's here 20 pounds parked this time last year. there was 10 pound a bug full, massive in buff, double in price because there is no east european whackers coming over to big piece in the field. so obviously than i just did, and the market is always reduced which increases price. so again, major problem when carl opened his shop in the 1980s, beverly road was a part of a vibrant neighbourhood with shops and pubs lining, the st. ah 68 percent of people and whole voted for brakes it. they thought it would help turn the economy around
11:32 am
sancho works at the shop. coral tries to take things in stride. these today are for a promotion for cheap booties which is chips inside the boom. normally would be to found $85.00. today special off a warm pound, my fear is a pound is better than nothing. so let's take a pound also. about an hour until opening back in grimsby some 50 kilometers away. darren canyon needs some new equipment for his boat. he still hasn't found a buyer for his trawler. luck place
