What water access...
Fishing licences...? Or better still a great opportunity for Scotland to supply Spain with fresh fish...

ALL the politicians are afraid to admit and are afraid, to tell the truth to the citizens, that they wrongly decided to remain separated from the rest of the EU. Hence the dillydallying - for one reason or the other!
