I respect Palo both for his steadfast loyalty to the Russian Federation (I'd have a low opinion of anything else) and for the logical consistency of his argument. But I am forced to take his "we" in this context with a large helping of salt. Not only is Palo not a citizen of the EU, he is the citizen of a country which is deeply antagonised and at variance with both Britain and the EU.

After more than one and a half years of dithering on the part of the British government, one thing is evident: they did not and they still do not know what they are doing.
It all amounts to a leap in the dark. If one considers the risks, namely creating an economic recession of unprecedented size and duration, dissolving the United Kingdom (if Scotland decides to leave) and reigniting the Northern Ireland conflict (if a hard border to Ireland is established), versus the benefits, namely being spared further immigration, the Brits must be scared to death by foreigners. If one considers that Britain was the spearhead of colonial imperialism, this is an interesting role reversal. |

Given the way the EU has "managed" fisheries since 1973 I wouldn't put it past them to encourage over-fishing in spawning grounds. These are people who allow fishing boats to dump dead fish back into the sea to stay in quota. They have had 45 years to come up with a sustainable fisheries policy and they haven't got there yet. I think we can do better.

I'm assured by some Fishermen at North Shields that one reason the Cod moving North is the industrial hoovering of sand eels along the North East coast by the Danes who use them to make fertiliser.

(2) So Britain was not the only imperial power. Does that make my point invalid? I think not. |

That's right. So why put the welfare of your nation into the hands of a bunch of non elected former dodgy politicians whose main aim is to keep the gravy train rolling and the troughs filled.
