Trawler skipper Mick Mahon has been selected as the UKIP’s prospective
Parliamentary candidate for the Falmouth and Camborne constituency.
He will challenge the sitting Labour MP, Candy Atherton, at the next
General Election, a decision made at a special UKIP meeting at Ponsanooth
on Saturday.
Mr Mahon, who operates out of Newlyn, said:” I have undertaken
this role with the absolute aim to win the seat and, I believe it is a
very winnable seat. I have seen what Europe has done to the British fishing
industry, farming an many more important trades.
"I will reveal to voters what I, as a fisherman, must do each day
– dump perfectly good fish back in to the sea, dead, in the name
of the Common Fishery Policy.
"I have spent 39 years in fishing from Iceland, Greenland, and the
North Sea down to the Westcountry, where I have been a trawlerman fro
26 years. Under the CFP, the British fishing industry has no future.”
