Is the moaning just as loud from those fishermen who sold their quotas to
foreign firms?
Just read a minister saying the answer was for us to eat more fishery
products. Now I know what they really meant by getting back control.
Telling us what we have to eat.

The whole fishing row was dreamt up as a red herring. Fishing makes no major financial contribution to the country. Apparently a major portion of fishing caught by British boats goes to France. Storm in a tea cup. Did an excellent job of diverting attention to the whole debacle



They may not make a major contribution, but to the fishermen whose jobs
have been lost or will be lost it matters a great deal.
