Brexit LIVE: ‘Never happen!’ Remoaners’ 100k City exodus myth SMASHED jobs surge 100%+ – Daily Express

In recent days it was confirmed two of the largest fishing vessels in the world (the Afrika' and the Zeeland') were both spotted fishing just 15 miles off the coast of Cornwall.

Both are registered in the Netherlands, and for some obscure reason, have been given licences to fish in UK waters.

They are both well over 100 yards long and use nets which can be the size of six football pitches.

Such large vessels indiscriminately catch huge numbers of fish at one time, whatever their species and size, with no regard for the damage this must do to the fish stocks of this country as well as the general biodiversity of UK waters.

Despite this serious threat to the United Kingdoms fishing industry, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), headed by George Eustice, gave permission for both these vessels to fish here, as well as seven other so-called Supertrawlers registered in the European Union, as part of the rollover of more than 1,500 fishing licences for EU vessels to operate in UK waters.
