Fishing without a license

[enfieldspares]

It may be, of course, that Chevening is classed as "Crown Estate" or "Crown Exempt" and so exempt from the need for a licence to be held? Like estuaries?

There's such rules for some motor vehicles. So maybe for land such as Chevening (although held by the Chevening Estate Trust) or Chequers or Dorney Wood have some sort of exemption?

My first wife married in 1987 divorced in 1993 or some such short time after, in her job, had a round sticker in the front window of her car that had a Queen's crown and around the edges the words "Crown Exempt" as is still the law, below so no vehicle excise duty was payable. Nor, anecdotally, could a "Crown Exempt" vehicle be given a parking ticket.

Certificates of Crown exemption​

31.—(1) Subject to regulation 29(2), for the purposes of identification, a certificate of Crown exemption shall be displayed on every vehicle belonging to the Crown which is used or kept on a public road.

(2) A certificate of Crown exemption is a certificate—

(a)marked with the registration mark of the vehicle to which it relates;

(b)stating that the vehicle is exempt from vehicle excise duty as a Crown vehicle;

(c)signed by a duly authorised officer of the Government Department by which the vehicle is kept.

Did Vance have a license? if not deport him for criminal activity.
The fish marshalls in the US jumped my bones when they caught me with an overlong tiddler in Missouri.

I used to sometimes if buying fish and chips for her ask my mother what was the name for the sea fish my brother used to catch in Cornwall. And when she replied pollock I used to chide her "Pollocks? There's no need for that sort of language is there. I was only asking." At which point she'd turn away and go back to doing her crossword.

Isn’t fishing racist? I can’t keep up.

How did this story get out in to the wild? How can it be in the interests of GB Plc to suggest that the vice president of the US has commited a crime.

Remember, these days someone is always watching and waiting for you to mess it up and hold you to account.

Lack of a rod license is the least of Lammys problems

Man’s a balloon

That’s what happens if nobody steps in when you’ve eaten more than half a packet of crayons…

Can’t say if our VP is truly an angler - but our politicians have had a long history of pandering to the hunters and anglers

 

[Trickyd66]

Or possibly, in my cynical way of thinking, rather than pay for a government funded "infomercial" (Thinking along the lines of "Charlie says") this has put the fact that you need a rod licence onto most news broadcasts today at zero cost to the government?

Shame no one invited him to a grouse shoot

We definitely have some overzealous game wardens. I think the power goes to their head sometimes. I remember one fella that would dress in civi clothes and make his way round the lake, rod in hand, chatting up anglers as a "friend". If he could catch you or get you to admit wrongdoing, out came the ticket book. Sneaky b*stard he was.

P.S. In the States, "jumping your bones" has a MUCH different meaning.

Nope, it means exactly the same over here.

Maybe the fish marshal did actually shag him ? Lol.

Apparently it was instigated by his "overlong tiddler"

I believe he would be more likely to acquit himself well than the average politician.

Isn’t that the whole purpose of this forum

Are you sure that’s the right phrase?? Sorry to hear about the Tiddler in that context, even if you claim it to be overlong…. (No pictures please)

I'm sure he would, I'd just enjoy watching whichever UK politician drew the short straw to chaperone him squirm

Says the opposite if he gets a way with retroactively buying a license after been found out rather than paying the up to £2000 fine. Plus it is tax avoidance.

Oh sorry of course, I had forgotten that. Thanks for putting me right.

If that had been you or me the EA would be writing a court summons straight away for a £1,000 fine!
They say that ignorance of the law is no excuse and you would think that people like Starmer's and Trump's right hand men would have known or checked on the law, rules and regulations first!
Typical "One law for us and a different law for them"!
