Nigel, when our fishing grounds are limited by not being part of the EU regulations we will only be able, legally, to fish within our own fishing grounds.

From reading about this subject I found that most British trawlers fish outside those grounds at present, in grounds which belong to other nations.

We MAY be able to buy quotas from them ........ at a price.

Like you said smoke and mirrors and much disinformation.


"We will only be able, legally, to fish within our own fishing grounds"
But: "We may be able to buy quotas for other grounds"
Which is it?
What about the 'high seas' which are not the fishing zones of any country?
Our own fishing grounds will no longer be open to be fished by other countries (unless by agreement with UK), so this increases our available fish stocks for our own fishing.
