Free PPE !!!

In my regional newspaper today was an article about Plymouth City Council  have obtained £77k from the EU  to buy and provide top of the range lifejackets for local commercial fishermen ...... really not sure why they feel it is their responsibility to provide them , perhaps treeworkers can get free Pfanners  !!!

Maybe it's the only way to keep their industry afloat?

Wasn’t it fishermen that wanted out of the eu the most? 

[Paul in the woods]

Sounds a bit fishy.

You need to be a Codwood supplier to get one.

I was half expecting a reference to the infamous "codwood" !!!!    apparently the Council are concerned about fishermen drowning ..... it seems the fishermen are less concerned , and will they wear them ?   Perhaps motorcyclists can get top of the range Arai helmets ....the whole thing just came across as bizzare to me ...

Kinda ridiculous? yes, but lets get all the money we can from the EU while we are still can

[Chris Day]

Aye but we've had our share from the eu....... Oh wait those toll roads through France and Spain even in low traffic volume areas who paid for those..... But yes with pfanner's from Germany supporting trade in the common market I will turn over more meaning more tax and more VAT so a win win for the home nation and the EU. It would be a crime to not provide them IMO.
