I disagree, you're basically saying that the there is nothing wrong with the EU and we should just let life go on!
Just to prove my point that the relationship between the UK and EU is heavily weighted one way...
Out of the seven other EU Member States' waters that the UK landed fish from the most valuable for the UK fleet were (avg. 2012 – 2016):
- France (14,000 tonnes, £17 million)
- Denmark (7,000 tonnes, £10 million)
The other EU Member States landing the most value from UK waters were:
- France (120,000 tonnes, £171 million)
- Denmark (237,000 tonnes, £90 million)
Now my maths might not be good but I would say the EU as in France and Denmark get far more out of fishing in UK waters then we do by fishing in their waters and that's is unfair!
The above figures show that the French take on average around 10 times in UK waters what the UK take in French waters while the Danish take on average 9 times in UK waters what the UK takes in Danish waters.
That's not fiction but proven fact which can be read in more detail here:

I don't have a issue with the EU but I do have a issue with EU partners overfishing in our own waters and that has to stop or least the EU partners need to reduce the amount of fish they take in our waters.
