That's why the oyster trucks stood in central London
More than 20 truckloads of oysters stood on the roads near the British Parliament and Downing Street, the residence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, today to protest the post-Brexit bureaucracy that has stifled exports to the European Union.
Many fishermen are unable to export to the European Union since the implementation of fishing certificates, health checks and customs certificates at the beginning of this year, which delayed the delivery of their goods and pushed European buyers to reject them.
Trucks parked with slogans such as "Brexit massacre" and "failed government destroys the sea oyster industry" meters away from Johnson's office in central London.
Police asked drivers what was happening.
"We have a strong feeling that the system could collapse," said Gary Hudson, a director at Venture Foods, whose company exports live, manufactured crabs and crabs to the European Union, and which has trucks parked near Downing Street.
"Boris Johnson needs to be honest with us, with himself, and with the British people about the problems facing this industry," he added.
He added that one operation needed 400 pages of export documents last week to ship one vessel to the European Union.
A transport manager at DR Cullen & Son, which employs 200 people, used to send a truck or two every night to France carrying live crabs, crabs and more, worth about 150,000 pounds.
He said that he had not issued a single fund this year, noting that fishermen "lost their livelihoods in an hour's accuracy" when Britain left the orbit of the European Union on New Year's Eve.
