Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI thought I had heard all the reasons by now but just now a lady on the radio came out with a new one.
She voted Brexit because she hoped it would trigger a house price crash so she could afford to buy one. I think that is the most selfish and cretinous reason so far and explains the mindset of the Leaver...Comment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostTrue. You have to turn up to have a voice. But nothing you have said changes or contrdicts my original arguement. One voice against many will always lose. As an island nation the EU, I believe, had a duty to at least offer us preferential treatment wrt our fishing waters.
Sent from my SM-G955F using Contractor UK Forum mobile appOriginally posted by meridian View PostGive us some facts then.
What % of the total waters of the EU are the territorial waters of the U.K.?
What % is the UK’s share of the overall EU fishing catch?
What % of the UK’s catch is sold in the U.K ?
What % of the fish consumed in the U.K. is imported, not caught by U.K. fishermen?Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostThe last 3 have no relevance as they ae about trade and not the right to fish or fishing quotas. But in answer to the first
Selection of offshore sites
You're right that % of consumption imported/exported is related to trade, but in my view this relates to whether or not any "preferential treatment" is good for our fishermen. It's no good saying that only UK fishermen can fish in UK waters if we don't eat what they catch and they have barriers to exporting to markets that pay a premium for their catch.
It's immensely intertwined, and it probably could do with a shakeup, but I don't believe that our fishermen have that hard a deal.Comment

No one has mentioned the remain campaign yet? A lot of people voted leave because they refused to be manipulated, ordered and threatened by the remain campaign. You want someone to 'blame' there's your culprit right there.
Also TTIP was being negotiated in secret at the time which was when Obama was in power and the US & EU (and yes NATO) were all cosying up to be one big behemoth ultimately controlled by US special interests.
I know the remain campaign said we can fight TTIP more effectively from inside the EU but where is TTIP now?
Anyway "yadda yadda yadda, cretin cretin cretin" and all that
