 Re: Gunboats ordered to protect our fish stocks 23 messages | Select a forum: |
| Do remember that the 3 main Cod Wars (in the second half of the 20th C) involved The Icelandic Navy, The United Nations, NATO, the US Defense Dept and the Royal Navy. It was serious shit. "Europe" (the Common Market) looked on with great interest in the 60's and 70's (we were not a member state of the Common Market when the first few Wars kicked off). But the Common Market was very interested in the North Sea and the "fishing" territories to the East of Iceland. The Common Market was always interested in expanding territories (you had to sign up to certain other weird things too... which now make sense when you see what happened to our industry and National Assets like Coal, Oil, Gas, Water, Forestry etc). It is a territorial organisation which favours Corporations and is now committed to the "Defence Integration" of a Pan EU Land Army (no doubt a similar Navy) to enforce its ever expanding and financially hollow empire stretching from Ireland's West Coast to Turkey and The Ukraine. Some people are still dreaming that this (ECOSOC, Common Market, The EEC... call it what you will) is about fair prices for cheese farmers... being nice to French Students (I always was anyway)... or getting over Germany and WW2. It is not and it never was. Reply | with quote |  28th March 2018ce 22:39 In reply to: Re: Gunboats ordered to protect our fish stocks (Sanctuary) |
