Holy shit I can't stop laughing

[-] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 years ago

They should make a movie series out of this.

[-] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 years ago

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time 💀

This is funnier than the whisky wars

[-] kashara@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 years ago

it's actually not their problem either
they won't be able to make the hooks with which to catch the fish anyway

Problem solved and mission accomplished

Where is your cod now, anglos?

[-] kashara@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Now the government of Sunak's regime will have no free fish anymore.

[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

russia gaining back its sovereignty

[-] SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Good, may they never return. There's no reason they should anyway; not like Russians can't be the ones to fish in their own waters...

[-] NikkiB@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Are they allowed to catch other fish there?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago
[-] NikkiB@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

Okay, that was an attempted joke. Having skimmed the article, I see they're not catching fish in the traditional sense, but farming them. I envisioned fishing as "you catch what you catch," so it just seemed strange to me that they would be specifically barred from catching haddock and cod, as if it was something in their direct control. Apparently it is.

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Not that trawlers are especially discriminating. Historically, they just scrape everything and throw the illegal stuff back in the water.

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

No steel, no steelhead.

Happy hunting to the Coast Guard! Britain should fish its own waters. (Oops, Thatcher destroyed the domestic British fishing industry).
