Combining the American Declaration of Independence and the constitution gives us an inspiring declaration appropriate to the feelings and dignity of those titans, (great and small) of the ocean and does justice to the CFP bureaucrats who bidst the mighty ocean deep in its own (EU) Appointed limits keep.
We the Fish, Crustaceans, Seaweed, Dolphins, Sharks, Whales and the watery mammals of the European Union common waters, in order to form a more perfect fishing policy, and secure the benefits of being caught landed and sold to ourselves and our posterity, hold these truths to be self evident: that all Fish, Crustaceans, Seaweed, Dolphins, Sharks and all watery mammals are created European, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, up to the point of being caught at which we assert our right to be caught by any European vessel authorised by quota, but otherwise consent to being caught and discarded dead so that to secure a Common Fisheries Policy be instituted asking men deriving its just powers from the authority of the Commission to create an ever more perfect union. |
