Right, so saying that Gove was lying wasn’t “a pile of shite” as you called it.
Let’s move on to overfishing. Was it a problem?
Gove wasn’t lying, his dad had to sell up as the industry was consolidating in part due to measures introduced by the EU. He gilded the lily, his old man was trying to save his blushes with that statement.
And that’s me out, family time.
The business didn't go to the wall, it was sold as a going concern.
Gove junior must have known that, but he said the business had been destroyed.
For when you get back, was overfishing a problem or not?
Just popped back in so it’s not a lengthy post as it’s Sunday and I don’t have the inclination to really deal with this today.
Selling a business as a going concern is a bit of a misnomer, it’s more akin to getting out when you can and securing employment to see out your time working for someone else.
I’m not getting into it tbh but there was a huge amount of consolidation at the time and only the fittest survived, I wouldn’t have classed Gove’s old man as one of the fittest.
Now if I have more time this week I can get into overfishing for you, which wasn’t even a point under contention, how the eu exacerbated it, how poor their record is in fisheries management etc etc all without a single bit of Googling. You made the bold assertion that the EU ironically saved the Scottish industry, that’s utter nonsense and if I get the chance this coming week I can elaborate on the why.
Terrific you are from a fishing town I’m sure that matters.
