Maybe Leon is in a position to give better and further particulars before anything is done?

The introduction of new evidence is very rare, equally an appeal hearing is not a re-trail. The usual areas for consideration are errors of law, fact, or procedure. I dare say any concerned ICFA rep can clarify if an appeal is to be launched by asking an urgent question to the relevant body, if there is a concern over further money being lost?

As fun as it all sounds, I think I might just give the 1,440 mile trip a miss. I'll send my apologies instead.

Ah, well now you're on the right track again, may be you will be attending as the RSA-UK.ORG Rep, in order to raise these matters of concern? NMC AGM, 11am on Sunday 27th February 2011 at Mountbatten Centre, Portsmouth.

I think you'll find that it is actually David Mitchell who is attending the NMC AGM, and not Keith Arthur. But apart from that I can't imagine why you were never consulted

They were pretty quick to lock the Comments bitty, once it went beyond the usual backslapping exercise

Would this not result in increased effort in small inshore areas? Maybe the Seagull should tow our inshore waters also?

Thanks for posting a working link to the show, Ron. Most amusing. Glad you got a reply. I found the last sentence quite touching - Bought a tear to my eye, so it did.

Link? Given that we are now so cunfussied?

Same with me Bazza, must be a technical problem. No point sending him an email until we can hear the actual broadcast.

I was hoping that you could listen to the proggy online, there were links on the hompage to 'listen again' but narder. Anyoone find a way to listen to the proggy on the the Interweb?

We campaign for the protection of anglers' rights and for the protection of the marine and freshwater environment and fish stocks. We take legal action to prevent pollution and other damage to fisheries and to compensate our members for any such damage. We promote the benefits of angling and encourage greater participation by people of all ages and backgrounds. We manage and promote regional and national competitions and Team England Angling in all disciplines at international level. I wonder if KA would be a good choice for scanning Sea Angling forums?

Bod will fix it

http://www.petitiononline.com/ukcghq/ Dear Mods/Admin feel free to Lock, Sticky, Delete, Edit this post, whatever. The overall implications of this ill-thought out knee jerk approach to our Marine Emergency Service far outweigh the singular actions of one Troll, who has appeared to be granted his wish, in closing down debate.

Seems he is being asked a few awkward questions - http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/20...end-of-comments

Care to back your statement up Bob?

Bob, please don't assume that simply because I see some good points in the proposal that I support the wholesale carnage that is bieng suggested. You are a total ignoramus, and as such are not 'fit for purpose.'

No fuss here, we all know you are a Grade A cock

That'll be it.

I'm not sure that using one person that you chatted to on an internet forum goes a hell of a long way in advancing your case, but there we go. What are your views on the current trial in Scotland or do you have any workable alternative solutions?

What was he supposed to do, break down in tears on the deck after the first haul? I think you'll find that he is painfully aware of the impact that the CFP has on the stock levels. Also remember there will have been a fair bit of footage that was edited for that 5-10 minute section.

It might be more prudent to ask yourself, why it is that you seem to attract it?

Icelandic, Canadian and certain US fisheries all have to be worth a look at.

Precisely that Bob. That is why we need to take a good look at Days at Sea over the current system. I can't imagine any other system that requires healthy food to be wasted in the name of stock conservation month after month.

No Bob, you have misquoted HFW and made that quote up to suit your agenda. You have not posted "exactly" what was said.
