Despite many heavyweight and far more important cuntings of late, this one’s been chafing away at my rusty gusset for some years now, so here goes…
It is illegal to fish in England and Wales, with a rod and line, unless you purchase, each and every year, a “Rod Licence” from the Environment Agency (AKA Sponging Cunts). Now call me cynical but has this anything to do with angling being, still, one of the biggest participation sports in the UK ?
A Rod Licence doesn’t allow you to fish anywhere, mind – Fuck Me NO – you’ll need a permit from the relevant “water” for that, No, just to wave your own fishing rod about in public (the purchase of said rod coming out of your own pocket, of course). One wonders if they’ve nicked this idea from TV Licensing….
Admittedly, part of the booty thereby purloined goes into funding various Water Authority’s bigger venues, but you’ll still have to buy a permit to fish those venues.
Even if you own and run your own fishery, like a mate of mine does here in North Wales – He must still purchase a Rod Licence to fish, legally, for his own fish, on his own land, in his own fucking water. If you do, like him, run your own fishery, unless it’s a water authority fishery, you’ll get fuck all financial assistance from the funds accrued by the Environment Agency’s Rod Licence, just regular visits from EA “Bailiffs” harassing your customers to make sure they have Rod Licences. Oh and they turn up with handcuffs dangling, authority to impound your tackle, your vehicle, etc – I kid you not.
What other “sport” requires that you have a Licence ? Shooting – Yes, I fully understand that – The Police will need to know if you own a shotgun, with which to raid the local Post Office.
But you could do that with an air pistol, a baseball bat, a bread knife… none of which, by law, require a licence.
For the life of me, I can’t imagine a scenario where some cunt is standing at the Post Office counter, fly-rod in hand, demanding “Hand over the money or I’ll cast…”
I didn’t buy a Rod Licence last year – just fucked off up to Sconny Botland, where you don’t need one…
