People power

At last - the European Parliament has woken up to the fact that people do not like seeing perfectly good fish being chucked back into the sea to feed the ... er ... fish. We'd rather be eating them ourselves. As ever, the devil of the deep blue sea is in the detail, and there is still the not insignificant hurdle of the totally undemocratic European Commission to be overcome, however hopefully it won't be long before all the fish caught by Scottish boats is landed by Scottish boats. That just leaves the small problem of the mackerel quotas. Time to send in the gunboats Richard!
