The largest part of this scandalous decimation of the UK’s fishing capabilities isn’t even the industry itself, but it’s the even larger knock-on effect at the coastal communities and away from them of businesses and work having vanished from the decrease of that primary activity.

I live in Cornwall now and see it every day. Proud communities which used to be at the heart of a thriving industry, now relegated to toiling to trying and please the fickle tourist trade.
