It looks as though EU plans could result in the Scottish fishing industry being
wiped out at a cost of 20,000 jobs. In an earlier report in Tuesday's
Daily Mail, I read that EU proposals for deep-sea fishing off our North-West coast would give France 80% of the quota, another 18% split between Ireland and Spain leaving
2% for Scottish fishermen. And Scottish taxpayers would have to fund the policing of this arrangement which covers areas that are entirely within UK territorial waters. Will our politicians do anything about this? Of course not.
Mark my words. It's only a matter of time before the EU lays claim to North Sea oil.
