Johnson promises fishermen El Dorado ... a mythical city that drove men mad

Boris Johnson has claimed British fishers should prepare for an “El Dorado” despite many experiencing difficulties post-Brexit.

The PM blamed “complications over form-filling” for the “barriers” some fishers are facing, but told MPs things will improve and fabulous riches await.

Commenting, Best for Britain CEO Naomi Smith said:

“El Dorado is either a mythical city, the search for which has driven explorers to madness and death, or a failed soap opera that got canned early on, as Brexit red tape should be.

“Either way, it’s not the most encouraging news for our struggling fishing industry.”
