The Scum Have Surfaced


Bruno Broughton

Recommended Posts

Have you wondered why the antis have been so quiet of late? Well, the scum have surfaced, so presumably the Social Security payments are coming through and the dope stashes are well stocked.

 

A news story is about the break regarding an attack by anti-anglers on an organised, children's angling event somewhere in Sussex or nearby (I don't have full details). Apparently, the day was organised by the regional Environment Agency and the local council.

 

The antis sounded high-frequency horns and threw stones into the water to frighten the fish. One can only imagine at the effect they had on the frightened youngsters. Further details will appear in the local Argus newspaper and in the angling weeklies.

 

What a pathetic attempt to intimidate people taking part in a legal, peaceful activity. That a junior event was targetted just goes to show the lengths this plankton will go to in futile attempts to 'sab' angling. It also illustrates just how shallow their arguments are if they are having to pull stunts like this. :mad: :mad:

I have respect for Anti anglers putting their point across in a peaceful manor, although i do not agree with them.

 

I have no respect for these type of people who try and force their views and opinions on people. And they cry Freedom of speech? Makes me sick.

So where were the police when all this was happening ? the above sounds like a pretty good description of threatening behaviour, and breach of the peace to me, which as far as I'm aware are both arrestable offences

Why not the nationals?

When the antis cause havoc at research facilities or fox hunts etc it makes the nationals and national prime time TV news programs.

 

Give us the link so we can email it to every media source we can think of (including the BBC who seem to be anti angling (Mark and Lard two radio one DJs regulary slag off angling to millions as do a few on radio two and Mr Rolf Harris seems to have an injured angling related duck or swan on every episode of Animal hospital )).

Here you go as released from the Countryside Alliance:

Press Release

Release: Immediate

Date: 7th August 2003

 

Saboteurs attempt to disrupt kids angling day

 

The Countryside Alliance's Campaign for Angling has condemned as "malicious

and pathetic" the attempted sabotage by animal rights activists of the

eighth annual children's angling day at Passies Ponds fishery in West

Sussex.

 

The event, organised annually by farmer and fisheries owner Trevor Passmore,

in conjunction with the local council's sports development officer and the

Environment Agency, introduces complete beginners to the sport. Today's

event brought out 100 children, none of who had ever fished before and whose

ages ranged from 8-16, to learn about angling and to "have a go".

 

Saboteurs, who had advertised the event on their "Keep on Fighting" website

as an "urgent action alert" spent an hour and a half at Mr Passmore's

fishery, shouting, letting off sirens, throwing stones in the water and

photographing the children taking part until the Police arrived to escort

them off the property.

 

Campaign for Angling Director Charles Jardine commented: "That these people

are now out "sabbing" children is both malicious and pathetic and that the

children involved went on to have a great day shows who possesses the

greater maturity. The kids who turned out today had never fished before and

could have been put off for life but for Mr Passmore's handling of the

situation. Anglers everywhere should be aware that this has happened and

must be under no illusions that these "sabs" will come after the angling

community just as readily as they will the hunting and shooting community.

This is not about animal welfare, but about hatred, and we must guard

against it.

 

"It is vital that we all continue, despite episodes like this one, to bring

new people into the sport and foster their enthusiasm for angling - I am

glad no one has been put off by the actions of these idiots and am even more

delighted that, thanks to this event today, several new anglers can now

enjoy this wonderful sport".

 

Ends..
