Highlighted on Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's programme.

Let's end this mad EU policy quota called discard... ie fishermen having to throw good fish back into the North Sea!

Thank you Trevor
New rules have to be made to stop this crazy policy!

We all live on an island, and three generations of my family, and for others like them around our coasts, fishing was their livelihood...now all fisheries here on the NE coast are gone! not because of bad management but EU rules that stifled our industries!

Readers sign up now and stop the shameful waste of fish being discarded overboard!

I have signed, though I have finished up putting myself in Ireland as I failed to find England, Wales, or great Britain in the list!
Have e-mailed Jude in case she misses this, being away.
