As the EU debate continues, theres one area where you'll find strong views, and thats fishing. Fleetwood use to be a thriving port now there are no full-time trawler men left, and many blame our membership of the EU and the restrictions put on British boats. Fleetwood was England's third biggest fishing port with 11,000 but the decline began during the 1970 cod wars when Iceland put a limit on how much could be caught in their waters, leaving hundreds without work. TONY COWELL, came from a fishing family of 5 generations, he says the community of Fleetwood was left devastated and he blames Brussels, it's clear how he'll be voting...
