British fishermen are up in arms after revealing that EU vessels are loading up hundreds of tonnes of UK-caught fish and whisking it away in lorries bound for Europe—without any checks or inspections. According to whistle-blowers in Scotland, this isn’t a one-off, but something that’s been happening regularly and in plain sight.
Just this past weekend, the Antonio Maria, a French-registered boat, was spotted unloading a whopping 50 tonnes of fish into a refrigerated lorry in just three hours. No fishing authorities were present, no quotas were checked, and no one was around to confirm what species were being taken. One local fisherman who witnessed the scene told GB News and Facts4EU: “I tried to speak with the lorry driver… he said, ‘I do not speak English sorry.’ So they have been told not to speak about their loads, obviously.”
