Politician Aneuran Bevan complained in 1945 that out Island's made of coal and is surrounded by fish and only an organising genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish.in Great Britiain at the same time. Today the fish have disappereared and we have home-grown terrorists. Will the genius stop organising please?

He was a genius.
The coal is only more expensive as unlike many other countries we no longer subsidise our coal industry, hence our coal is sold at real market value, not a distorted cut price.
The fishing problem is because we allow the EU to over quota other countries to fish in our waters in order to push through other items of European Law that work in our favour, and as most politicians couldn't really care about a few fishermen it will continue to be this way.
Unfortunately the UK populace seems unable to stand up against this kind of thing and organise a protest as they would in say France or Spain so whose fault is it really?
Home grown terrorists-who can answer the hyprocrisy of their arguments except them?

It isnt a shortage of coal, it is simply that the cost of extracting it is more than the cost of importing it from abroad.
As for the fish, well thats probably most of the countries that fish in the Noth Sea's fault. I hear Spain in particular are the worst for raping the seas and doing whatever the hell they feel like without quotas.
As for the homegrown terrorists.. well you got me there.
