NFFO slams Seafish appointments

[seaside]

NFFO are getting in a bit of a tizz over the criteria that will be used to select two new appointees to the Seafish Board which they say have been deliberately set to leave the mainstream English, Welsh and Northern Irish catching sectors without a voice.

 

They have bitterly condemned the criteria which specifically require “knowledge, understanding and expertise in the catching sector and its impact in Scotland.”

 

They suggest “The intention is to strengthen the already strong Scottish voice on the Seafish Board, whilst leaving the mainstream catching sector south of the border without a voice. It is an affront to natural justice and any sense of fairness or balance”, said NFFO Chief Executive Barrie Deas.

 

IMHO - Not quite as big an affront to natural justice, fairness or balance as the lack of meaningful inclusion of RSA bodies, especially in Scotland, in matters which impact their sport.

 

BTW - If they are searching for candidates with a knowledge of the impact of the catching sector, I suggest they just wander along the coastline - there'll be plenty of anglers there with that knowledge.

I bet there wouldn't be Seaside, 99% would not know or care about any thing you were talking about

The biggest affront to natural justice as I see it is the goverment and its puppet department DEFRA because of extra votes and taxes have leeched onto the anglers and are discriminating against commercial by pandering to a supposed sport. Affront to natural justice is when commercial fishermens jobs and income is undermined by so called sport anglers who have their own boring jobs. This could only ever happen in this bloody country you chose your sport if you do not like it pick another one

Hi Steve

Are the jobs of those who earn their living from RSA less important than those of commercial fishermen?

A bit like 'Nobody is stopping you from enjoying the forest'. Oh, let me remind you. We've cut down all the old trees but now plenty of Christmas trees in there, max 1.5 meters. Enjoy!
