Conservative MP for Wokingham – and Eurosceptic – John Redwood, has been waxing lyrical on Brexit – as he is apt to do – and it’s put him squarely in the path of some Twitter mockery.
On Saturday, he published a draft of a letter he planned to send to Joe Biden, warning him not to get involved in Brexit – although he has, thankfully, yet to send it.
Not content with that bizarre bit of posturing, on Monday, he took to Twitter to lay down the law on what the government should say to Michel Barnier.
Hold on one second …”controlling our own fish“?
Twitter had thoughts, and these really stood out.

I do worry for this man's mental state. Is there a medical term for being obsessed with fish and wanting to control them? https://t.co/tZOQlh7mRR

The thought of John Redwood trying to 'control fish' leaves me with many, many questions.

How can you tell which fish are British? https://t.co/tC6HTycKRc

Alistair King had this depressing observation.
Curious, isn’t it, that when fish swim into our waters, people like John Redwood think that that makes them “our fish”, but when desperate asylum seekers arrive by boat into our waters, they’re somebody else’s problem and should be despatched as quickly and brutally as possible.
