Nigel, I live in a town that used to have a fishing fleet, the owners of the trawlers, without exception, have moved to fish out of Peterhead and Banff. The only boats in the town now catch Lobsters and Crabs or take fishing parties out. An occasional boat comes up from Devon to fish for Scallops.

I have just read the attached article for the Guardian which clearly states that "the distribution of national quotas is the responsibility of national government, not the EU."

Leaving the EU will not necessarily make the livelihoods on these fishermen/women any more secure.

Once you read past the journalists obvious dislike of Farage it does make interesting reading.
