From the barges of Newlyn, the mayor’s port of Pisquera de Inglaterra for unembarked scenes, have the houses of fishermen about the gate, the traction sentiment extends by all parties.

It was an idea of ​​the motivations for the tormenting crisis of Brexit, which lasted five years, and the limits of the agreement that Johnson made to impress as a final note to the 48 years of United Kingdom relations with the European Union.

“Nos han vendido”, dijo David Stevens, captain of 46 years of the Crystal Sea, arrester of the bottom of 24.5 meters of ice. “For us, the worst golf course is the continuity of access to the walls of the EU within the limit of 19 kilometers”, continued.
