    yes, its certainly irritating that the future is unknown

    It is not so much that the future is unknown and that concerns me. I am not expecting to be told that 'choose brexit and you will be £15k per year better off' I just want to hear what the general plan was, I really don't see that the country will implode if we leave the EU which is what some quarters seem to want us to believe.

    Those that want us to stay don't say 'stay because ...' they say ' if we leave it will be disastrous because ...'. I would just prefer the supporters of each side to concentrate on their side and explain why we should vote for them rather than not for vote for the other side.

    I would say that it is normal, when determine between two alternatives, to discuss the both the benefits and disadvantages of both courses : anyway we have 6 weeks of wall to wall coverage so I hope you find out what you want to know

    Yes, we obviously should get rid of any fishing quotas and have a free for all. That will be a win win for fish stocks!

    How does that monstrosity get a quota?
    You only have to look at the way the fishing has gone down the pan to see what the quota system has done,and yes our own fishermen are as guilty as anyone.

    Am I alone in thinking the BBC news was very one sided this morning?

    They showed a significant chunk of Alistair Darling's speech as the lead story of the 11am bulletin, but no balancing story from the leave side.

    Sky News balanced the story by showing Farrage returning his corrected copy of HMG's propaganda book to Number 10.

    Maybe the part where the North Sea abuts Germany and becomes the Baltic Sea coast in Poland.

    Or do you propose putting border guards in the sea to stop the beastly foreign cod displacing the righteous English cod?

    Nothing unusual about the BBC being biased.

    I would advocate the Australian solution to the issue of managing fishing in territorial waters

    Because British fishermen that owned the quota sold it on.

    Here're some quotas for sale:
