BLIND HATRED AND SCORN FOR FOOD PROVIDERS

[digger64]

Just watched bbc news greenpeace dropping boulders in the English channel to wreck fishing gear - looks really dangerous to me .
Why are these people above the law ? so confident about it ?
Whats next angle iron in the maize rows ?

Assume a boat could well lose a net in that which is not going to help marine life very much?

It's to reduce overfishing as they say the government aren't protecting the no fish zones

how about a fisherman losing his head when a cable snaps ?

I'm not aware of Greenpeace killing anyone yet. So it's still one-nil to The Establishment.

Are they dropping the rocks only in areas from which fishing with nets has been banned?

There is a big difference between farming and fishing, you farm as if you will live forever, you fish to get everything before the others get it.
Bottom trawling is the worst, just destroys the ground.

Why this ship's dropping huge boulders into the sea

Fishing community leaders say Greenpeace's action is dangerous and illegal.

That is the problem with these so called 'pressure groups' No one will stand up to them..Woke strokers.

The thing is if i booby trapped my farm yard and the next time a pikey came to steal my quad bike he got killed or injured, id be put in jail. Even though he broke the law

Shouldn't be necessary. As they found in NZ, if you totally ban fishing in some areas and let the area recover, fish and other marine life breeds up and then spreads out. It isn't rocket science.

Mr Lobster must be really thinking WTF?

Not to worry ....... Mr Gove says these are British Fish now so they'll be intrinsically happy in our Sunny Uplands

At least it's a pressure group that I can be proud to belong to, that shows some commitment to its cause.
Unlike your pressure group, who no-one has to stand up to because they just curl up and take a kicking. Muppets.

some do and some dont applys to both

Fishermen are their own worst enemies.

Not unknown for them to deliberately catch "out of quota" species so they can get on TV dumping them to show how "unworkable" the rules are.

As said above-no thoughts for the future

A lot worse than that could happen. Net gets caught on boulder, stern pitches down as the lines go tight, big waves over the deck and down into the hull, and it's game over. Floating to sunk in minutes.

They shouldn't be bottom trawling at all. Let's be honest.
