Your right there mate,they will still trawl for other fish and dump the Whiting.
The idiot that thought of this species quota system should be be hung up by the balls.
Thats why everyone should support this.

Pretty poor number of people supporting this in all honesty....Is it coz fish aren't as cuddly as chickens. Hopefuly once the Channel 4 series starts and more people see the issue highlighted, maybe the number will go up then!

Already signed up to the fish fight - Why do they have to put dead fish back?

Commercial fishing

COMMERCIAL FISHING has proven it cant b trusted if left 2 them thay d empty the seas,but the euro fishing policy is just sheer madness

You can sign all the petitions in the world - Brussels will always have their way...

Why oh why can't Britain (aren't we supposed to be GREAT Britain...?) just, for once, say no to Brussels. Why can't the UK manage it's own seas and its fishing?
I strongly feel we should stick two fingers up to Brussels and go our own way.
Our politician's are weak!

the spanish tried to subdue us, then the french, then the germans, all failed untill we joined the e.u, bout time we did an `iceland` and told everyone to get the eff away from our waters

we do mate, its the daft bloody rules you lads have to work with, that link being the latest in a long long line of them
its not like we are fighting to save something for our children's children, the eu keep it up and this will be gone in our lifetime, this shower of idiots and the previous governments waxing lyrical about saving the planet, carbon footprints, recycling, emissions you name it, yet with the seas it seems to be out of sight out of mind

There has nothing been GREAT about this country for a good few years matchman

We should vote Mick Ashley to tell them we are dropping out, he would ahve no problem with cutting ties with the EU and would never speak with the press or take questions to give them any roads to go down.

Lets face it he must be good for something, apart from showing Newcastle/English football as a joke.
