You’ll Know Their Virtue By Their Opponents
When the SFF attack you, you know you are on to a good thing.
Bertie Armstrong, my fellow Northern Irish representaive for the Scottish Fishing Industry (SFF) attacked Labour’s Tom Harris MP.
Labour Party – Standing Up For What’s Right
The Labour Party, which I am proud to have been a member since the age of 15, was set up to protect the interests of working men and women and take on the interests of powerful vested interests.
Former Labour Minister, Ben Bradshaw MP, helped me in my time at WWF, in the fight against Blue Fin Tuna and making sure that the rules of the CFP were applied.
A Very Close Relationship
It is well know that sections of the Scottish Fishing industry have had a long relationship with the SNP. Indeed, you only need to sit in on December fishing council talks to see the SNP political advisers and Minister huddle down with fishing barons over in Scotland House and provide them a direct line to the Fishing Council. If a Minister had such close relations with say the oil industry he would find it hard to explain that flow of contact during what are meant to be secret governmental talks.
