Just a question relating to overfishing in the North Sea.
There are more foreign trawlers in the North Sea than what are registered in the UK.
With more countries having already entered the EU and more due the quotas of existing trawlers will be cut even more.

I have the feeling that we are the only Country in the EU that obeys the rules.
Our fishing industry has been devastated over the last few years, but there seems to be no reduction of foreign vessels.
It"s about time we told the EU that the waters around our Island shores are OURS, so to get these foreign boats out.
The problem is our Lilly Livered Government will do nothing to upset the bureaucrats in Brussels.
I imagine that Tony Blair is lining himself up to become President of Europe. Then he will be able to introduce even more of his idiotic policies over a much larger population. [Can"t wait to see what the French farmers and fishermen do about that]

Without a shadow of doubt - YES. And whilst we are at it, we should vote for Nigel Farage (UKIP) to be our next PM. He and the party will take the UK lock, stock, and barrel out of the EU and give this country back the right to make it's own laws without the intervention of Brussels/Strasbourg. That'll keep the dagos out of our waters. We should have done what the Canadians did some years back: threatened to blow them out of the water, just like Sir Francis Drake did with the Spanish Armada all those years ago.
No apologies. I am a commited eurosceptic, and will not be happy until Great Britain is out of the EU.

I can see no reason to stay in the EU, it costs us a fortune and lets thousands of foreigners come here and live off our taxation

Isn't the UK part of the EC and so if it took control from the EC then control would still be with the EC.

Yes, if we fished in "their" waters, they would cry blue murder and take us to court, impound our trawlers etc. So stuff 'em and give us our sea back and impound THEM for illegal fishing activities.

We can't - the EEC won't let us - however on a personal note I have regained control of my water - I've stopped drinking so much beer!

If we had any sense at all we would call for a referendum to exit the European Union.
