We had a thriving fishing industry which the EU ruined

They limited our fishing to avoid extinction in the North Sea.

Rubbish. If that was the c ase then the unrestricted fishing by Norway
and Iceland would have obliterated stocks. As it is they are increasing
fast.

Not only that, but our fishermen were restricted, but the Spaniards had
free reign.

Spain didn't join the EU until 1986 and had no access to British
waters for the next 10 years. Fish stock were depleted long before
then.

Spanish access was often facilitated by some British trawler operators
selling on their quotas.
