That's nonsense. You can't blame rich Tories here. It's obviously the EU's fault. That will be sorted soon enough!
But in all seriousness, we need facts. I know nothing about this, and always enjoy a chance to criticise Tories, but this looks like another hard working family ... a quote from the Tory Times:
"A SCOTTISH family who operate three herring and mackerel trawlers have become the best-paid fishing crew in Britain after netting a £17m payout last year.
The Tait family, owners of the Klondyke Fishing Company, all work as crew members on their vessels. They generated revenues of £20m last year from their catches and shared £17m in dividends.
The 11 directors of the company are also paid a salary and last year the best-paid crew members would have earned more than £2m."

£17million is a lot, but not exactly where we should be focussing on inequality, IMO. They are working on the boats they own, in the areas they have rights to. You wouldn't catch me on one of those boats (unless it was moved to the Med for pleasure cruises).
Is if fair? It might well be. They would surely be paying tax, and employing many people to fish their on their patch. Mind you, it's not all good news ...
"The quartet, all shareholders in the Fraserburgh-based Klondyke Fishing Company, breached European regulations to land tonnes of herring and mackerel between January 2002 and February 2005."

and a bit about the late Andrew Tait:

Breaching European regulations is positively encouraged these days.
