It's an offensive term used to describe people from Pakistan.


They know that Pakistan is over 4,000 miles away from Spain? :lol:


:lol:

I didn't think anyone was stupid enough to use that term full stop, let alone to refer to Spanish people.


Plenty of people are still stupid enough to use it. Usually though they use it against people of Indian, Bangladeshi or Sri Lankan origin. Which is stupid, but not 4,000 miles of stupid. :lol:

I thought the "p word" was going to refer to "Pedros", I've heard people calling Spanish people "Pedro" before. Using "P**i" against Spanish people is a whole different level of racist ignorance.

It's more they repeatedly said "the people around here look like they are from Pakistan" rather than literally thinking they were from Pakistan although I find it hard to believe they actual look South Asian.

UK and Norway fail to reach fishing deal

The UK and Norway have failed to reach a fishing deal for this year, with the industry warning that hundreds of crew members will be left out of work.

It means UK fleets will have no access to Norway's sub-Arctic waters, known for their cod catches.

The government said its "fair offer" had been rejected in talks.

The firm UK Fisheries called it a "disgrace", saying fishermen in Hull would be particularly badly affected by the lack of progress.

In 2018, UK fleets landed fish worth £32m in Norwegian waters, according to the government.

With the UK no longer part of the European Common Fisheries Policy, it now deals directly with Norway - which is not an EU member state - on fishing matters.

The two countries agreed last year to a post-Brexit system of co-operation, including annual negotiations on quotas and access to each other's waters.

But a deal for 2021 proved impossible, despite weeks of talks.

UK Fisheries chief executive Jane Sandell complained that the UK government had failed "even to maintain the rights we have had to fish in Norwegian waters for decades".

She added: "In consequence, there will be no British-caught Arctic cod sold through chippies for our national dish.

"It will all be imported from the Norwegians, who will continue to sell their fish products to the UK tariff-free, while we are excluded from these waters. Quite simply, this is a disgrace and a national embarrassment."

Fish was literally the only area they had left that they thought possible to get a "win" from all this. And they strawberry floated that up.

As soon as it went bad they gooseberry fool up about it. I really don't think they ever really cared about fishing it was just an easy argument to win.

Hilarious really, that perhaps the most stereotypical British thing of fish and chips, will now be so expensive as to be a thing of the past pretty soon, all because of racists old twats who wanted everything to be British.

Top grade premium British fish though. Many a gammon will happily pay extra if they believe they are now getting a piscine dish unsullied by foreign hands!

Must be comforting to know as an industry that you were better represented by Farage not engaging with the EU than by your own government supposedly having your interests key to their Brexit strategy.

That is actually scarily accurate to how many of them think.

They still seem to be banging on about how companies will have to pay a bit more and it'll sort everything out. Especially with the restaurant trade.

First they came for gooseberry fool metal CDs, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a metalhead.

Then they came for fire extinguishers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was an arsonist.

Then they came for fish and chips, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a fishi.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
