The Peterhead Trawlermen

Been watching this recently and my heart goes out to those brave men.
They put their lives on the line every time they go to sea, it's backbreaking work, they're half frozen most of the time and if they have a poor catch they all go short of money including the crew.

On top of all this are the fishing quotas and regulations all drawn up by the European mandarins.
Britain has the most productive seas in Europe but we must share with the rest of Europe, we've got them coming from all over the EC, to me and our own fishing men this is all wrong, before we joined the EC we had it all now we have very little, it makes me appreciate a bit of cod all the more now.
