None of which addresses the problem of the plundering of our seas benefitting others. We are well aware of the overfishing that goes on, and things are being done about it. No catch areas are designated, mesh sizes are increased, but guess which country takes note of these measures?
UK of course.!
Guess which countries ignore these measures?
Yup, you guessed it!
It's a totally different matter living in or near the communities which are suffering from this maladministration, from looking up figures on the internet, and stating them as if they were indisputable facts.
I know people who are involved, and I know what problems they are facing.
