RSA & Bait Collection a Threat to Marine Biodiversity?

[glennk]

Wonder if they will ban Warbertons and Hovis. Will the j-11 become a forbidden lure.

Your not a lefty are you Leon? SHOCK HORROR,LOL

 

Labour are just tax crabing gits, a sea angling lisence is just anouther stealth tax! Ben Bradshaws a wet blanket.

 

Conservatives at least try and leave you alone to get on with your life rather than tryand make England into a nanny state.

 

Thatcher wouldnt of been up Bushes jacksy like Blair is. Ragan always gave her respect for being strong.

There are supposedly 1,000,000 sea angling votes out there and it's about time we started using them. It's the only thing politicians understand.

 

 

I think certain self-appointed RSA reps have already told HMG that they have all those votes behind them.

[Jim Roper]

There's already enough reasons to vote this lot out Leon. Lies, wars, more taxes than ever before, They are becoming over powering. Attacking the one thing that's free and enjoyed by so many is the last straw. They want to tax us, they want to restrict our catches and now there's talk of charging us to collect bait or worse still stopping us from doing so. What sort of a country are we becoming. Get the labour party out.

 

SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH, don't say that to somebody who might get a peerage out of them.

You heard the same thing I have then Jim.

 

Would someone kindly remind me of the membership numbers of the nfsa and then work out what percentage of the British sea angling community that is.

 

There are a lot of people in my home town alone who are really annoyed with all of this. We are one town in the north east. How many other towns are the same ? These meetings with DEFRA need taking right back to the start. Surveys of the wants and needs of the sea angling community need to be undertaken before anyone speaks to DEFRA and says they know what anglers want.

 

These documents that keep being produced are meaningless to Joe Average. The report on bait digging is 97 pages long.

I have heard some reports recently of things going on behind the scenes, secrets being kept, private conversations. I am not impressed with this.

Then they've told them wrong Jim, and should be telling them that unless they stop f*cking about they'll have all those angling votes against them.

At least the few NFSA members pay something, and therefore give their reps some sort of mandate.

 

How much do SACN members pay?

 

You can get plenty of people to give their particulars for nothing. Just look at the free raffles that collect email addresses at shows.
