Who's been eating my carp?

[Rusty]

Rusty,

 

Yes, I too thought that was quite expensive. Do you know of any reason, other than carp is imported. that it would be so expensive? I don't remember fish being especially expensive in the UK.

Probably forward thinking, they were anticipating a shortage of supply once commercial stocks dried up. They were also considering a fixed price arrangement (let's call it a day ticket), as much as you could carry and if you got past the checkouts it was yours. They canned it becasue it had already been done.

I think he has a point its his fishery and we all know the Easterns eat carp.

Its not racist. If it read on his sign " no whites " would that be racist.

It's not quite simply, it's quite complicated. It's not exactly black and white, but a multitude of shaes of grey (more than 50) I would hazard a guess

See the link in my post on the other page, legally racial discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of race or national or ethnic origin. In law, clear cut, not allowed.

Steve,

 

I don't know? Seems to me it is just a matter of theft. A preceived or real idea that the fishery is _______ (whatever?) Whilst I see cultural bias I don't see "discrimination".

 

How about a sign that says Dear EE's, "don't eat the fish" or "capturing fish for the pot is not allowed".

 

I tend to believe the fishery guy has some of Worm's otters. He may indeed be looking for a scapegoat but I doubt his sign is illegal.

 

It is pretty clear the guy thinks British culture is superior to any or all others but that is not an uncommon trait or against the law.

While i feel sorry for the man....There is absolutely NO doubt it is racist..It could not be clearer..

No place for racism in fishing full stop.

 

No place for racism at a commercial fishery- bad economic sense. Never turn away customers.

Trout fishing has no trouble with customers using the fishery as a fun take away.

So simples..

Price for fishing there should reflect the restocking costs.

Then supermarkets will under cut the fishery price and the hungry will leave the fishery.

After hours fishing should reflect the cost of overtime for fishery staff to collect the fees.

There we are, a solution that Thatcher would be proud of, simple supply and demand.

 

A bit tricky to get the otters and cormorants to get the hang of this though, I think that the supermarkets have problems on the hygiene front with wild animals etc etc They would need to dip their feet I suppose.

Phone, it isn't illegal to hold those opinions, however in this country if you refuse to provide goods or services to someone because of his race, you break the law.
