"Lammy was given a written warning for fishing without a license, an Environment Agency spokesperson said Friday. As far as breaking the law goes, it was pretty small fry but could have netted him a fine of up to 2,500 pounds ($3,380) for the offense. Lammy, whose spokesperson described it all as an "administrative oversight," purchased a license after-the-fact and reported himself to the agency."
"Lammy hosted Vance and his family, who were vacationing in England, at his country estate south of London on Aug. 8. The two men smiled and laughed as Vance provided what Lammy called Kentucky-style fishing tips. Apparently, the pointers didn't help Lammy land a fish. "The one strain on the special relationship is that all of my kids caught fish, but the foreign secretary did not," Vance later said."
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy received a written warning for fishing without a license and faced a potential fine up to 2,500 pounds. His spokesperson called the incident an administrative oversight; Lammy purchased a license after the outing and reported himself to the Environment Agency. Lammy hosted U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his family at his country estate on Aug. 8, where Vance shared Kentucky-style fishing tips. Lammy failed to catch a fish while his children did. The Environment Agency declined to confirm whether Vance held a license, citing data protection rules, and said inexperienced anglers are typically given warnings.
