All the press seemed to be able to talk about was the rights of the ship owners not to have their property damaged or misappropriated.  Well, the integrity of our coastline and the lives of our seabirds are far more important than a few containers of fancy vehicles. Time folk got their priorities right - is the shipowner paying for the damage I wonder?      Report

Dangers to our wildlife and our beaches are well-known and I believe that we should all support whatever steps may be necessary to ensure Devon's coastline is protected.    Report
