3 October 2011 06:22129349it must be fishing qouta time again,its akin to seagulls getting scraps again.its about time this country got the lions share.
alsx,its not all the eu's fault,if spai and france kept to there qoutas then the uk would be laughing all the way to the bank.
if britains fishery patrols steped up there patrols and caught and prosecuted the offenders more then the offenders might get the message. - Jan Higgins

3 October 2011 07:59129362The fishing fiasco has done virtually nothing to help maintain fish stocks. The fisherman inadvertently catches fish he is not allowed to land and has to throw it away. How on earth does that help fish stocks?
Spain have always been a law unto themselves with regards to fishing

But I am not defending the practice, far from it.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
