@Jimjam - you like to blame the Conservatives but by my reckoning Labour were in power for around 20 of the last 50 years. Don't see much evidence that they gave much of a damn about the UK's coastal communities either.

1)Is the UK fish market equal to the Norwegian fish market?
2)Sustainability can be quantified. Do so and show that Norway overdid it and UK did not.
3) are all these fishing vessels state owned
