Happy British Fish

It may have been intended as a light-hearted remark but it was stupefying nonetheless, and in questionable taste.  In response to a question about delays in fish exports because of post-Brexit fishing rules, the Leader of the UK House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, had this to say:

The government is tackling this issue and is dealing with it as quickly as it can.  The key is we’ve got our fish back.  They’re now British fish and they’re better and happier fish for it.
