Lobby London

Faroe Islanders have a tradition called 'The Grind' where they slaughter Whales and Dolphins in their hundreds and thousands for fun. In 2019 the UK Government finalised a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Faroes Islands allowing them to export £800 million of wild caught and farmed fish to Britain per annum (20% of the Faroes Islands trade). Blue Seas Protection created a petition, with the help and guidance of wildlife campaigner, Dominic Dyer, calling for the UK Government to 'Suspend trade agreement with the Faroe Islands until all Whale and Dolphin hunts end'; this petition received 104,664 signatures from 120 countries around the world AND from every Constituency in the United Kingdom. The UK Government suddenly announced on 29th June 2022 that on 11th July 2022, they would discuss the petition in Westminster Hall! Despite only 13 days notice, Blue Seas Protection + Lobby the Lobster decided to rally the sea-troops! Lobby's 1st mission was to hand deliver a personal letter from the Sea to Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely (or should that be Sealy!) at the Conservative's Constituency Office at Northwood House, Isle of Wight. No response was received, so Lobby left Isle of Wight on Mon 4th July 2022, via WightLink Ferry to Portsmouth, and coach from Portsmouth to Victoria Station with the intention to visit Parliament, and Lobby MP Bob Sealy in Parliament’s Central Lobby! At Victoria Tube Lobby was Lost, and a kindly gentleman asked 'Did you draw the short straw!', 'Yes' Lobby nodded, looking down at the bright red costume. 'I'm lost, I've never been to London before and need to get to Parliament urgently'. 'Oh, I don't know many places BUT I do know where Parliament is!' the gent replied. 'Are YOU an MP?!' asked Lobby. 'No, I'm a Lord!' 'Congratulations! I'm a Crustacean! And I'm here to Lobby London to STOP THE GRIND!' replied Lobby Lobster, 'THE GRIND! What is that? I know nothing of this' as the Lord took Lobby's letter from him and read intently before pointed out that Westminster Station was next and that was Lobby's stop for Parliament. 'Good Luck!' called the Lord, as Lobby disembarked from the tube train. After a sit-down protest at Westminster Tube Station, Lobby climbed the steps out of the hole in the ground, into the bright daylight of Westminster, confronted by the magnificent Elizabeth Tower with Big Ben at the top. Crowds laughed and waved to see a Lobby Lobster in the centre of London. Undeterred Lobby crossed the road to Parliament and met a man with plastic bottles placards and they joined together for a photo-shoot for passers-by. Lobby went to enter Parliament but kindly Bobbies, after their initial shock at how to handle a 6ft Red Lobster intent on Lobbying in Central Lobby, stated that, unfortunately, Lobby the Lobster was not allowed into the famous Central Lobby to Lobby MP Bob Seely, as it was considered, at the front security gate, that Lobby was a Crustacean NOT a Constituent! Never mind... 2 Blue Seas Protection Colleagues had to go in Lobby's place to lobby Bob Seely instead. But Bob Seely MP refused to meet Blue Seas Protection in Central Lobby and to this day, Bob Sealy MP has still not made contact at all to discuss the #StopTheGrind, despite it being his duty. See link to view the Petition's Debate:    • LIVE: E-petition debate on the hunting of ...   Finally, on 11th July 2022 at 6pm, the UK Government discussed the petition in Westminster Hall. Our MP Bob Seely did not attend, despite Lobby's letter, emails and trip to London to Lobby in Central Lobby. BUT 5 Amazing MP's did, John Nicholson SNP, Patricia Gibson SNP, Ruth Cadbury Labour, Kerry McCarthy Labour, all spoke with passion, and in-depth knowledge of #TheGrind which heartened Lobby Lobster, who was worried that no one would turn up for the debate, as PM Boris Johnson had resigned just 4 days earlier. Unsurprisingly, Andrew Griffith Conservative MP and newly appointed UK Minister for Exports, stated that the Government would not suspend trade with the Faroes; in response to the debate, the Faroes Islands released a statement just 2 days before the debate was due to take place, stating that they would cap the amount of Whales and Dolphins killed per Grind to a maximum of 500 dolphins per Grind. Given that even 1 dolphin killed is too many, this shocking ‘500 per kill’ cap is more than they usually kill, so essentially it is an ‘increase’. A Grind is started whenever the Faroe Islanders spot a pod of Dolphins/Whales... it is not date or year related, so the cap of 500 dolphins per kill, is now legally increasing the amount of Whales/Dolphins killed in one go, to more than they usually kill in a year. Join Us. #StopTheGrind by opting for a #FishFreeFriday to send a UK Consumer Pound message to the UK Government and the Faroes Government: Not 1 Drop of Dolphin or Whale Blood will Taint our UK Tradition of Fish’n’chips.
