“Here are the facts about fishing,” Mr. Geldof said from his vessel, rigged with an enormous set of speakers intended to drown out Mr. Farage’s protest and broadcast interviews. Leading the group opposed to a British exit, or “Brexit,” the man blasting the music was Bob Geldof, the Irish impresario and activist. PhotoLike so many decisive moments in British history, the question of whether to leave the European Union devolved on Wednesday into a naval confrontation. Thirty fishing vessels left port at dawn, arriving in London around 11 a.m., and were soon met by Mr. Geldof and the “In” demonstrators. When asked about the fishermen’s claims, Mr. Cameron, who opposes leaving the European Union, said British fishermen would not get a better deal outside the union, according to the BBC.
