I thought that was only to be expected, but was amazed to hear that this particular craft was Spanish! Now I understand that the, once proud, Scottish fishing fleet has been decimated over recent years; apparently to conserve fish stocks. If this is the case then why, on earth, is it considered acceptable for Spanish boats to take a share of this dwindling resource? As well as fishing our waters, we are even extending the use of our coastguard these days to rescue Spanish fishermen when they ‘get into trouble’ in their boats. What gives? Don’t we have enough problems with British industry?
