Dumping North Sea fish 'immoral'

[Guest challenge]

Excellent article in the Herald.

 

Why you lot continue to argue the toss with the 'wallies' defies explanation.

 

Do you think commercial netsmen are going to change their minds and suddenly become responsible soles with consciences? Not likely.

 

Compromise is not an option.

 

Good morning.

So if compromise is knot an option then what would you suggest?

Your reference to the collapse of the coal industry and the government of the days lost opportunity of investment to modernise the industry and therefore make it competitive again within an aggressive global market is a valid one.

Margaret Thatcher’s no compromise with the miners divided Britain and prematurely destroyed an industry that could have been improved and made more competitive.

She would knot listen to her own advisors never mined the miners because she wanted revenge for the 3 day week and the inevitable demise of Ted heath.

If you will not listen to people who have first hand experience of what is going on in there working area of the sea, and you dismiss there comments and thoughts on the back of glossy magazine articles that are aimed at people who want to use the same said opinions because they have no original opinions of there own, then so be it.

Regards.

Unlike some of the preceding 'piffle', that information is of great interest.

 

Thanks 'FishingsFine'.

Joanna Blythman, the author of that, IMHO, joke of an article, is apparently not a biologist, a fisherwoman (Rsa or commercial), but is a restaurant critic with a regular, and apparently admired, column in the Herald!

 

Heres a nice piece where she raves about the turbot and salt cod served in some exclusive edinburgh restaurant:

 

Sunday Herald

 

‘Salt cod is one of those elusive savoury tastes and, teamed with a silky artichoke purée and a truffled foam, it made a sophisticated and unusual dish’

 

She does not say where they were sourced from though

 

 

Did you enjoy reading those articles FF put up btw?

Now imagine a situation where concernerned anglers team up with skippers like James West from the Fruitful Bough for the better good and visa versa. They say politics makes strange bedfellows but also what a powerful lobby it would also make?

 

It seems an obvious one to me fwiw.

 

If your a charter skipper you read the FN and other commercial stuff because its important to what you do. At the end of the day both RSA and commercials kill fish and are also dependant on good stocks. What other grouping has those same priorities? Sure as hell is NOT a prority for the green groups that seem to provide so much of the ammunition for RSA we see atm.

 

Its easy to point out the areas of conflict between RSA and commercials but if you know anything about the comercial sector at all then you know there are some pretty bitter conflicts there too at times; static vs mobile for instance and there are often no easy answers, but thankfully i have'nt seen too much of the real h8 stuff i now see stirred up by, imho essentially greens with an interest in angling, and out and out ignorant posters, who have zero knowledge of the subject but feel they have some kind of right to dictate other peoples lives. Fwiw i suspect the latter is due to our Imperial, the world is all red, upbringing. But hell, what do i know ...

 

Reality is that green groups. with insanely large budgets, and good connections to media and marketing are aiming for all fishermen- it just don't fit into their worldview.

 

Commercials/RSA both will be screwed imho.

 

For whatever thats worth ....
