I did read that the rights to fishing our waters belonged mostly to a few families, and it was they that sold their quota to the highest bidder... don't imagine that wouldn't happen again.. greed is greed..

Link to this please.

Not sure exactly how it works, or did work..  perhaps fleets and the owners of fleets sold quota's..

 

anyways would explain how it was only a few families had the bulk of the rights to fish..  fleet owners.. amalgamation in times past..

You Numpty, I said I couldn't stand fishermen because they cheat and overfish..  selling our quotas is one example of how rancid they all are..  bunch of ne're do wells..

Hmm deterrent = trident

 

An EU army run by the unelected lot at the helm of the EU is no good thing! Pretty sure if Russia overstepped their mark Nato would put an end too it. 

The thing with trident and any nuclear weapon, is unless you're prepared to preemptively launch the missiles and accept the consequences, you're essentially just getting your big brother to chin the person you couldn't.

Notwithstanding the millions of human and animal casualties.
