The BBC looks at the mackerel war and the state of the fisheries. Between two stories, they manage to bring up everything from diminishing numbers of water voles to good old human greed (how dare anyone except a BBC executive order the plaice!), but, no prizes, totally ignores the real culprit for the dwindling fish stocks around the British Isles: The Common Fisheries policy that allows the European Empire to treat British waters as theirs to plunder at will.
Maybe Providence will allow a delightful bit of irony and we'll soon be reading about European fishing fleets being gobbled up by marauding giant squid.
