So we are at war with France now? FFS this government is ridiculous. [View all]

Seriously? Seriously?

We send 2 navy 'warships' to Jersey in retaliation for some French hyperbole about turning off the power in Jersey if the French fisherman cannot fish in Jersey waters.

They send 2 gunboats to challenge our warships

French fisherman rams British boat.

All of this for fucking fish. FISH.

And the sad thing is this is working. This government sent fucking warships to Jersey to protect the fishing rights as a total and utter distraction to the devastation that Brexit has wrought on the fishing industries on our Islands. The lies they told about taking back control of our waters, not mentioning that it would take a decade and in the meantime fishermen trying to sell their produce into the EU have significant barriers to trade to the point that many are going under. But hey. Lets go to war with France.
