Can't Spell, Can't Count...

...that's the 'Mail' for you!

Staff at his restaurant were filmed preparing the fish in a video on social media. But a wildlife campaigner said Stein should be ashamed of himself for cashing in on 'these rare incredible fish'.

A campaigner? Then why the plural in the headline? 

Dominic Dyer, a wildlife campaigner, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Why are fishermen being licensed to catch these incredible fish? Also, what is Rick Stein thinking, promoting the catch of this rare 150kg specimen to feed to tourists in his hugely expensive Padstow restaurant?

'There is no such thing as sustainable management of these rare incredible fish and Rick Stein should be ashamed of himself cashing in on killing them.'

*sighs* No such thing, eh? 

Fishermen were banned from catching bluefin tuna – the most expensive fish in the world – after overfishing of herring and mackerel depleted its food supply and it vanished off Cornwall in the 1950s. But it has now returned, due to rising sea temperatures, and the ban was relaxed in 2021.

Seems there is indeed such a thing! So global warming ain't all bad, is it?

A spokesman for Stein's restaurants said the fish was caught by 'one of ten boats with a licence to catch some of the small quota allowed by the Marine Management Organisation – a quota that's been carefully decided upon following detailed tracking and research of tuna in our waters'.

And the fishermen caught it because it's their job. Just as it's Stein's restaurant staff's job to feed tourists. 

What have you got against employment, Dyer? Was it your 13 years as a civil servant at MAFF that put you off?

Don't Worry, By The Time An NHS Kitchen Has Got Hold Of It...

...it'll be unrecognisable as meat, let alone what type:

...the move has already been blasted by animal rights activists, who are saying the red meat should be ditched for vegetables and tofu.

Dawn Carr, the Director of Vegan Corporate projects at PETA, said: 'Serving vegan meals would also be a long-term cost-effective solution and better for the environment - just what the doctor ordered!'

These people are insane. Insane people always want to force their insane ideas on others, rather than just enjoying them in their own lives, don't they? 

James Aris, a spokesman for the Countryside Alliance said of the scheme: 'Venison is an incredibly sustainable meat and it should be rolled out across the public sector.

'The vast bulk of the UK population consumes meat, so it is only normal that public bodies reflect that with their menus and the food on offer.'

Bring it on! What's the alternative, send it all to landfill? How would that look, when pensioners are starving?
