Labour being owned by business interests/billionaires is no longer a suprise.
But the fact they seem less able to hide it then the fucking Tories. Truly is.

And when those areas are depleted of life, I’m sure the UK is just going to go without…
No they are going to start a war over fish and chips shortage.

Lack of fish will be the least issue.
Every time the bottom is trawed. Huge amounts of CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
The ocean base stores way more then any Forrest’s etc.
202p study estimated trawling releases between 8.t to 9.2 billion tons a year.

Scumbags.
In contrast, Scotland just protected huge areas.
