Abolish the quotas and there will be no fish in the North sea in 10 years flat.
The best way is to take a sweeping cut through the fishing fleets so there are simply a lot fewer boats licensed to fish.
Then your TV news will be full of shots of mournful trawler men on the dole.
This campaign doesn't seem to have a solution it just wants something, anything done.
Personally that sounds like a blank cheque to me and I won't be signing petitions that vague

When I last checked the figure is racing toward half a million ( should be by monday). The fishing debate is such a minefield I doubt politicians know where to start, but I did hear the following. Apparently when a boat is decommissioned the skipper/owner has a quota allowance which he apparently retains, but as he has no boat can no longer use it. So he rents his quota to other skippers who can then catch his quota of fish, even though his boat has been scrapped and he has been compensated. It's a mad world!!
