[DemolitionRed]

The EU has done a lot of good and we can't deny that. Its also done a lot of bad which we can now rid ourselves of. We need though, to look at the good policies and continue those policies within British law, whilst getting rid of the policies that suffocated us.

I'm delighted that we can now reform our fisheries and farming laws because EU common agricultural policies has robbed both farmers and fishermen of their trade. We need (and this is close to my heart) to stop the transportation of live animals for meat (and I didn't know this until I watched a parliamentary debate) we need to stop funding bullfighting in Spain, but we do need to continue the protection of our natural habitats. EU law has ensured we cleaned up our act with rivers and beaches from sewage. Before we joined the EU Blackpool beach wasn’t even listed as a beach or shown as a beach on maps because it was so filthy. The reason its an award winning beach today is because the EU made us take responsibility. Some regulations need to continue, not under the EU directive but under our own laws and regulations.

We need to take the good and discard the bad.
