So the Russkie smoking gun on indyref is…”credible open source commentary”. What that means to you and I is: articles that anyone can find online. This is the extent of the evidence provided to us of Kremlin involvement in 2014; an “influence campaign” after the vote had taken place, which we are told in a footnote was “aimed at discrediting the UK in the eyes of a domestic Russian audience”. That’s what justified headlines on Tuesday morning stating “Russia ‘tried to meddle in Scottish vote'” (The Telegraph, surprise surprise).

'welcome back Hong Kong'

In a thousand years where did you get the idea that Hong Kong was British?

On your other better point, it bothers me that we cannot use British 5g equipment, or buy British smartphones, or even have the know how to build modern nuclear power stations.

And we were once leaders in industrial nuclear power technology, although it has to be admitted it was to produce plutonium as a bye product for nuclear weapons.

On the topic of the ownership of fishing quota rights by foreigners.

Property rights are one of the most powerful themes of the American Constitution.
And the Magna Carta.

In post war history the British and the French owned the Suez Canal. it was an important asset.
It ran through Egypt. When we refused to finance Nasser's Dam project he nationalised the Suez Canal without compensation.

So Britain, France and Israel mounted a very successful invasion to take back our property.

The trouble is we forget to ask permission from President Eisenhower who we relied on for financial aid.
He ordered us out and Eden resigned.

The point I am making is that fishing quota rights have been sold to foreigners in the past, they are owned.

The UK government in Victorian Times purchased the Suez Canal from a fat Egyptian King who wanted to clear his debts.
They arranged a loan from Rothchilds.

Hard to believe that Russian meddling could have produced such a decisive result.

All this talk of meddling, exactly what was done by the Russians?

Every election or vote produces such an overload of waffle and nonsense hard to understand how a bit more could sway the result.

The plundering of our fish stocks was one of the worst features of our EU membership. It combined large environmental damage with large economic loss for the U.K. This must end in December. We want a fishing policy that is kinder to our fish and our fishing industry.

[maxk] 22/7/2020 18:16

If it were as cut and dried as that careful, why are the €U/frogs/spanish etc up in arms?

We are sovereign in our own waters and can amend or cancel any fishing license.

You need to do some research on the topic of UK fishing rights quotas.
None of you seem to know anything.

It is true that a bit over 50% of uk fishing quota rights are foreign owned.

They were purchased in the 1990's as a long term investment.
This was at time when UK fishermen sold out to them to make a fast buck.
There were restricted fish quotas at that time.

Understand this clearly, they own these rights legally.

The negotiation is about more British economic involvement, employing British crews, landing fish at British ports etc.

Don't let Farage and his like wind you up.

We the British own Gibraltar, the falklands and used to own Hong Kong for 100 years.
International law will not allow us to steal fishing rights off the foreign owners.
Any more than the Chinese could replace our undemocratic governor of Hong Kong.

The referendum did not give the uk the right to break international law.

Do some research.

CP - "which have all but ruined our fishing industry."

So very true.

All that dosh heading towards Southern EU countries has as much to do with keeping the EU dream afloat as it has to do with helping them out of the coronavirus hit.
