I missed this bit earlier on. Surely there would be no need for a 'Fish Fight' campaign if we got out the EU and restablished our territorial rights over our fishing grounds (which we would be quite entitled to do under international law), and where currently 90% of all fish are lifted by EU member states such as Spain and France? I would have thought a sustainable fishing policy after that would be simple and easy to manage.

Oh - and its Murdoch, by the way. If politicians of all persuasions had not been so eager to please this Aussie scoundrel, then there would be no need to resort to the EU courts over his ruination of English football and his corrupt monopoly on broadcasting games.
