Much of our crony privitisation is blamed on EU law... But no other EU nations seem to interpret the EU laws the way the UK does.

No we haven't acted illegally - you suggested we should favour small, independent, local fishing fleets over the big corporate trawlers. That is what is illegal under EU law, and would remain illegal as long as we're in the Single Market.
