As it states in the article an estimated 1.1 million people take part in angling contributing 1.3bn to local economies and Mr Brown wants his share of it.

Totally agree with you sandi at the end of the day we all contribute to the local economies buy some means or another (i.e. vat on fishing tackle, petrol) so that Mr Brown and the rest of his government get there share of it. I say stuff the government and leave it as it is.

See you back on the boat next week.
