Market forces are the best way to stop cruelty of seal clubbing.
Heh? How is that ignorant or moronic? Sounds perfectly reasonable does it - liberal even? Nobody wants to buy the goods and there is no reason to prepare or sell seal-based products. (Ed notes: of course, it doesn't mean there is no reason to cull the seals - maintaining fish stocks pops up as just one reason - the best part of 1/4 million additional seals each year would eat quite a lot over their lifetimes.)
Ah, no. You see it's this bit - "Market forces". His idea of a 'market force' is an EU-wide ban.
Indeed, if Europe was to no longer permit producers of seal products to trade within our borders
Statist cunt.
Just for the record, my dress sporran is chinchilla, not the more common seal-skin, my day sporran is plain leather (probably cow-hide).
* - Is "senior MEP in the European Parliament" a simple tautology, or is he making a subtle point about the commitment of our elected reprehensibles in Brussels? The former, you say? I thought stupidity was the most likely answer.

You hit the nail on the head. It is not market forces at all - it is actually trade restriction, the opposite.
Clearly the man does not know what he is talking about.
