Members of a union who work in the Cornwall College Group say its principal and other senior managers should accept pay cuts to show leadership and "recognise the pain" staff are going through.

Amarjit Basi is one of the highest paid principals of further education colleges in the country, being paid £200,000 a year. However, the college group - which has seven sites across Cornwall and also runs Bicton College in Devon - is facing a £9m deficit, and has plans for up to 60 redundancies.

Philippa Davey (pictured), regional support official for the University and College Union, said: "We haven't had a pay rise, we're under threat of redundancy; we're not expanding, we're contracting. Why is it fair that some people should be paid so much more than others when the college isn't expanding?"

The college said it was on track to get back in the black and Mr Basi's salary was in line with national pay scales.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has rejected claims a flotilla of fishing boats,  including some from the South West, was a publicity stunt, saying it was a "full-throttled protest" against what he claimed was the "destruction" of the UK's fishing industry by EU membership.

"There are now many harbours without a single commercial vessel...Compare and contrast all of this with Norway who control all fishing stocks up to two hundred miles within the North Sea and has a booming commercial and angling tourism industry."

And he claimed the counter-demonstration was "just disgusting". The boats are sailing up the Thames to Parliament.

Shadow Environment Secretary Kerry McCarthy said being in the EU was good for British fishermen as it gave them access to Europe's fishing waters and their boats are able to land and sell their catch in any EU country.

She blamed the Conservative government for failing to ensure more smaller enterprises did not benefit from the UK's catch quota and that reform of the Common Fisheries Policy, not Brexit, was what was needed.

Retired solicitor, William Beaton, 73, from Devon, who took wild bird eggs from a nest in Orkney has been fined £4,200.

He admitted wildlife crimes carried out in late May and early June this year. Beaton was fined at Kirkwall Sheriff Court under Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legislation.

Gary Aitken, procurator fiscal for wildlife and environment, said: "Scotland is home to a wide range of wild bird species, both rare and common, and all are protected by law.

"It is an offence to intentionally take the egg of any wild bird as it can have serious implications for their conservation and habitat.

"We hope this prosecution will serve as a clear message to others who participate in the illegal practice of collecting wild bird eggs that this type of offending will not be tolerated."
