Letter in today's Telegraph

Quote:

Let them eat fish

Sir – Peter Neilson of UKIP (letter, Dec 23) may be correct in noting that the landlocked member states of the EU do not catch fish, but he neglects the fact that they eat it. If there is a single lesson that the past 25 years have taught us, it is that industries should be regulated in the interests of their consumers, and not only in the interests of the producers.

In both politics and now, it seems, economics, UKIP is hankering after a lost world.

True - UK industries should regulate its industries in the interests of UK consumers.
Not in the interests of the consumers of other countries.

...and of course businesses in the UK would be free to implement any regulations they thought were best for consumers - whether in the EU or not.

Of course.

And they are capable of doing these things.
Don't need or want any E.U. bods doing it for them.
