Charlie Mcbride Arcane An appeal to reason
I have recieved this E-mail from a friend in Kilkeel.
"My friend Charlie Mc Bride and his son Charles Mc Bride, owners of the Kilkeel based trawler ARCANE, which figured in the BBC series "Trawler men" have been jailed last Friday for a period of 3 months by Liverpool Crown Court because they could not raise the money from the banks to pay a fine of £350 000. Since Friday, Karen Mc Bride has no news from her husband and they are not allowed to communicate. She is left to manage the crew and vessel which is in Scotland on her own. This is how the fishermen are treated like criminals, and the press is not interested in fishermen stories. Can we organise a petition to Release the Fishermen from Prison. (We don't see bank manager going to prison!) "End of Message
I know in these hard times it is quiet literally every man for himself but this is too far. Could some of our UK Members please send emails etc to various MPs, MSPs, members of Assemblies and other people with clout setting out the stupidity not to mention cost of such an action in these times.
