That makes no sense. If there is a bigger supply the price falls. Do you think that the day after a leave vote fishing quotas will increase?

No eu fishing boats in our water's, fishing quota's under our own control, more fish caught by British boats may mean less fish caught overall, meaning the re-birth of an industry and fish stocks, also less jobless in fishing communities, less junkies in fishing communities, less of a burden to the taxpayer, more tax raised through jobs, local fishing economies booming, here what I'm saying grandad, the value of our fish to the eu is enormous, that's why they're fishing in our waters and to the detriment of the British fishing industry.

There was nothing to say that fishing quotas would be changed though. Have you read it?

What did I tell you, more scaremongering. Of course they'll change because hopefully we won't be in the EU meaning we won't have to throw dead fish back into the sea and like Reggie said, " more boats will be able to fish meaning," more revenue for the Government, more jobs for the dock areas that have been decimated by the stupid EU quotas.

I think this is just a red herring..

That is not scaremongering. It is asking for facts. You can't say "of course they will change" because you don't know. the report does not say they will change. You say more boats will be able to fish. Are there more more boats available? Landing more fish could see the price of fish plummet, it certainly wont see the price rise.
Do you see everything running smoothly if other EU boats are banned from our waters or do you see a return to the "cod wars" era?

We are banned from Spanish and French waters yet they can come and plunder our stocks. Dave in another back hander shock.

Is that all French and Spanish fishing boats or just the ones that have acquired quotas allowing them to fish here?

Don't know if anyone else saw the sheep farmer on the BBC programme The one show, state his reasons for voting out and the cabbie stating his reasons for staying in, worth watching if you can get on BBC iplayer :lol:

Of course the sheep farmer was correct in why he is voting to leave, there is a world market for the best lamb on the planet, even eu countries won't stop buying it, just like our much sought after fish.

On the other hand the cabbie fears a Uk boycott by European visitors, he said, Europeans love coming to the uk, trust me whoever you are, an out vote won't stop them coming, a broken economy might, err like the one we're trying to sort out, an out will also not stop eu countries from selling there wares like cars etc in the UK, U.K. Citizens won't stop travelling to Europe either, even it does mean showing a passport, err we do that anyway.

All that will change is control, we take control or give control, if we give control then up here let's cut out the middle man (Westminster) if we take control we save the British Union, we have an opportunity to do it right, a country that focuses on its priorities first and without fear of eu regulation, ttip, quota's etc, we sell our wares worldwide to the highest bidder and not to those who take our produce because big brother say's so through unfair regulation, "Spain are bigger than you so they can catch much more than you", feck off I say, our fishermen can catch to order, if the Russians, Chinese etc want X amount they can have it at full market value.

As with the Scottish referendum this is an opportunity of a lifetime to take back control of everything, even human rights, if we want to kick some sicko terrorist out, it should be done overnight, not 3 years later having been through every court on the planet and cost millions of pounds in the process, unlike the Scottish Referendum though the brexit vote is a one off vote, no second chances, just one vote to take full control of everything, it's your vote :wink:

The EE vote has been simplified even more this morning with Brussells becoming the latest victim.

To go back to the days of D ick Turpin, the vote becomes - "Your money Or Your life". Open borders allow terrorists to freely walk into a backyard near you!

What number of possible terrorists(asylum seekers) have been granted drivers licenses without the thorough checks that UK citizens have to go through when applying for a license from Council licensing authorities.

Good conduct certificates are easily forged by anyone who has access to a computer,is there any checks done by licensing officers on these certificates or do they just take them at face value.

It's safer to be in the EU though, the sharing of intelligence on terrorists between countries is working a treat. #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

The biggest problem for the No vote is the under 40/45s, they have never known anything different and are easily swayed by the scare mongers.
