In England and Wales the fishing rights in most waters are privately
owned - usually as a result of a grant by the crown to some ******* who
trampled over the land and subdued the natives almost a thousand years
ago [1].

[1] The rights on my local river can be traced back to a grant by King
John in 1203 to one of his Norman cronies. :-(



Sounds to me like the British Empire needs to suffer defeat from another
Revolution. One by it's own citizens!!
