They got the shitty end of the stick because the quotas were based on fish caught in EU seas in the 70s...the majority of the UKs fleet fished outside of the EU waters so was simply ignored. Yes Iceland's action was not forseen by the UK or EU...but our quota was impacted by the years fishing...

Yeah...I blame the scampi lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Fact: the majority of people who could be arsed/felt sufficiently compelled to vote voted to leave the EU. GAME OVER! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

What he is failing to accept (still) is that Luxembourg broke the EU Corporation Tax rules, as he highlights in his post. If post-Brexit as a non-EU member the UK decides to do likewise it is choosing to do so of it's own accord & not being dictated to by Brussels. Which is kind of the...

Funnily enough I know someone who was involved in the Global & EU discussions on fishing policy during that spell. Globally...all was plain sailing (pardon the pun). There was much EU bullying tactics employed on voting after hours & hours of what was described as petty bickering & ego-tripping...

Compare imports to exports Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I might be wrong, but that 9% I think applies only to Cod in the English Channel...still scandalous though Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Funnily enough (linking to another topic of the moment) I read somewhere that EU countries are themselves responsible for monitoring compliance on catches with occasional EU inspections...& it is estimated 1/3-1/2 of catches are illegal in member states (in fairness that may include our own)...

The fact that in 2017 we imported £3.21bn & exported £1.89bn tells us all we need to know. Parity based upon demand for catches & subsequent local processing is all we want/need rather than some madcap scheme based deliberately upon catches in EU waters in a decade where half of the UK fleet's...

Although we have whittled away a bit at the original agreement from the EU. The fisheries policy was based upon 1970s fishing catches in EU waters. Until mid-70s most British fleets fished Icelandic waters...so we got the shitty end of the stick & are still trying to wipe it off! Sent from my...

I think the point is that we HAVE to import it because our fishermen have EU quotas that prevent them fulfilling the demand here at home. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

There has more often than not been an overwhelming majority of people in favour of brimging back the death penalty in surveys. MP'S have had a vote on it & chucked it out. Lies, lies & statistics...& then there is doing the right thing by the standards we choose to function at. So no on two...

Oh god struth. He is STILL in denial Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Which almost, but not quite, nothing like what I side Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Rarely matters what the surveys nor experts say really. They get it wrong often enough to have no major credibility imo. The one poll that mattered has been done. We are leaving the EU...unless some conspire to stop it & risk major constitutional debate & probable disorder, a big rise in...

You must like this report then? Because virtually all you moaning-minnie arguments against coninuing with Brexit are based on ifs & buts. Meanwhile, just as some of us were saying 12+ months ago...there will be a deal. Let us wait & see what it looks like upon completion. All media...

The thing is this word 'populism' has crept into many debates since Trump came to power & it's use is fraught with danger imo. It is nothing more than giving/telling voters what they want to hear. They must want to hear ut otherwise it wouldn't be popular. Referring to far-right populism is...

No...I have to disagree. If you are sufficiently motivated you can walk anywhere virtually undetected Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Even the UK has no real open border. All ypu need is a worthy vessel to float across the channel from 1 pretty obscure point to another. It isn't difficult to walk through from one country to another via fields/forests is it? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

And Germany guides & influences the EU in line with it's own domestic policies. Keep feeding the 'Fatherland'??? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
