MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yup, no winter festivals here. Its CHRISTMAS time and I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is a politically correct FREE zone so you’re all safe here. Celebrating Christmas doesn’t offend other religions just like it doesn’t offend me when the other religions have their celebrations

At this time of Christian celebrations spare a thought for a few people out there:

- The homeless sleeping rough over what will be a very cold and maybe snowy period.

- The one third of schools this year which didn’t have a nativity play because of political correctness gone mad.

- The single person sitting alone in front of the TV tomorrow.

- The emergency services dealing with the tens of thousands of family domestics

- Support workers, care staff, hotel staff and others who have to work over Christmas

- The politically correct retards that offend everyone by shoving their anti-religion spew to the general public. For the next few days think of kind thoughts for these folks who seem intent on inciting racial hatred throughout out land.

So once again have a great Christmas and I hope you have a very relaxing few days!

So long and thanks for all the fish.

It’s a good thing Douglas Adams didn’t based this book in our time because not long from now some of our most loved fish species will be gone for good. Cod is 70% below what it needs to continue breeding in our waters. The solution was to allow trawlers to carry on as normal.

Charter boats in Scotland no longer fish for Cod and instead target Ling because Cod is so scarce. In the last twenty years we have raped our seas beyond repair but still the needs of the few (trawlers) outweigh the needs of the many.

The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution last week recommended that almost a third of UK waters become marine reserves protected from fishing to save threatened species. The European Commission had called for closure in an area that accounts for 40 per cent of cod catches.

Instead, the most far-reaching immediate concession to reverse the decline in stocks was an agreement for crews to use nets with a larger mesh size to allow more juvenile fish to escape capture.

The demise of Cod is creating rippling effects that are being felt all over the North.

Ben Bradshaw is a complete imbecile who should have listened to his own scientists who, for the last three years, have wanted a complete fishing ban in certain areas of our waters in the hope of saving our much loved fish.

Make the most of your cod and chips because between Global Warming and over fishing it won’t be long now before you’ll never eat another Cod from our waters!

Solution for critically low fish stocks; Net even greater numbers

In a staggering display of stupidity the EU has agreed that to solve the ever decreasing fish stock numbers trawlers and netsman should fish even more.

According to the BBC tougher measures would only be introduced if fish stock numbers decrease further. Given that Cod stocks are a third of the level they need to reproduce themselves how much further down do they need to go?

Global warming and over fishing are so evident even to shore fisherman like myself that I cannot believe more wasn't done.

Stats are made to be broken, rigged, twisted etc_

Statistics are completely useless in this day and age. The problem is that laws are passed based on whopping distortions of the truth.

All of which brings me back once again to the ongoing saga of the music industry blaming everything on downloader’s. On the TV show "Tonight" with Trevor Mcdonald we were actually given a lot of real reasons which play the largest part.

Yes CD Single sales are down which we are being told is because of downloader’s. What we're not told is album sales are up because people don't want to pay a few pounds for a CD single when they can get the Album for a few pounds more.

Another VERY valid reason is once upon a time CD singles were not played on radios until the day they came out. Now you would have heard the song so many times before it hits the shelves you no longer want to buy it. A very well known BBC Radio DJ actually said on TV that he didn't buy singles anymore for this very reason.

And all of this still doesn't include the people who wouldn't buy the albums anyway if they could no longer download them.

The music industry ripped us off by over charging for decades and still they cheat, twist and lie with every spoken statistic which spews out from their fat cat mouths.
