UK fishing industry almost destroyed

I say let the fishermen empty the sea, let them catch what they want, when they want, then only when it is empty will they understand fishing quotes.

I grew so rich that I was sent
By a pocket borough into Parliament
I always voted at my Party's call
And I never thought of thinking for myself at all
I thought so little, they rewarded me
By making me the Ruler of the Queen's Navy

Now, landsmen all, whoever you may be
If you want to rise to the top of the tree
If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule
Stick close to your desks and never go to sea
And you all may be Rulers of the Queen's Navy

A multi-billion pound industry given away by Ted Heath.

He should of been hoisted by the neck. On the yacht he mysteriously came into ownership of. No mistake, every member of this Government is guilty of high treason.

Giving our waters away is like telling foreign farmers to come over here and plough away.

Hello,looking for job,fish industry,uk.Expirience fish industry Norvej,phone +447563753733

I heard of some UK fishing boats going over to Spain out of protest with no intent to catch any fish there, just to be seen by the Spanish and cause them to think about being over here....they were arrested at Gunpoint and had the boats confiscated, nets pulled out and burned, one rule for one and a different for another...

I watched a boat I helped on at a shipyard for work experience when I was 14 and at school being broken up on TV earlier this year on a documentry about fishing, the operators had sailed it over to Holland and they put a digger through it for the TV cameras and that was the family's fishing business from peterhead closed for good, a strange coincedence to see the very same boat on TV when thousands have gone the same way........now I hear of the boats from France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Iceland and Norway coming over here and having an open licence when we have limits and have to throw back dead fish instead of reaching our limit and going out less....what a waste...

Captain Birds Eye here from Walton-on-Thames. I never did go to sea. I was wholly a marketing creation. They liked my beard.

Most I ever caught in my life was couple of carp from the Thames at Walton bridge. Some said they saw an alligator swim down the the River Wey Navigation.

There be whales here! oooohhhhaaaarrrggghhhh...

"Only the best for the Captain's table"!

For the bloke who said fisherman should push trolleys at tescos, you belong at the bottom of the ocean son, fishing in many families is a tradition that has been passed on for countless years, I would rather go to sea work long and bloody hard to put food on the table than any job in the world, why you mite ask, to me fishing is more than a living its a lively hood.

Personally,I Love fish.I cannot get enough,a big thanks to our uk fishermen/women.Our Navy should be here in the north atlantic policing the spanish and Icelanders not over there in the persian gulf.

The fundamental principle when sharing anything is that the giver needs to ensure their own share is secured first otherwise it is unsustainable and ultimately ends in folly. The disappointing fact about the UK fishing industry is that the UK government is guilty of stealing from UK fishermen to give common fishing resources rights to EU. The UK government should be taken to court and made to pay for their appalling treacherous deeds.

Close the fish 'n chip shops. Burn down the Youngs and Birds Eye factories. Sink the foreign fishing vessels in our waters. Close the firshing ports her. No more eating fish for 200 years.

And don't be taken in by ridiculous claims about being "line caught".

who ki11ed the uk fishing industry?here in nz our main species is hoki,a real versitile fish
during the winter months our main factory would process 1,000 of cases of the fish
which ment long hours there fore plenty of ot.like the uk industry our industry is slowly begining to decline.a prime example of this is sealords in nelson at the top of the south island
why because of japanese,taiwanese, and other overseas fishing vessels coming over here to fish our waters because the greedy tossers had fished out their own waters we are now dependent on countries like chile,argentina,bloody russia and not forgetting china,so yes you can say the kiwi fishing industry is just about stuffed too all because of government policies
