12gauge82 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 If and I do mean if, they were fishing illegally, I say serves them right and we should do exactly the same. 40 minutes ago, ditchman said: this is not going to end well...........

Centrepin Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's the English channel not the Crapouds channel. It's alleged the trawlers where only sailing close to France to confirm rumours the French had surrendered in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clam6364 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 The boat was fishing outside the french 12 mile limit so all legal, seemingly a licence mistake by marine Scotland, just withdraw all french permits that allow them to fish into our 6 mile limit,better still get them outside our 200 mile one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this matter could have been sorted with a few checks and phone calls within less than an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clam6364 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well he did have licence ,admin error on marine Scotland’s part,but just making it a showcase event as the french do, easily remedied in a short time just remove all french licenses in uk waters and ban them landing in uk ports , job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRINITY Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Having watched the news this morning, it appears Macron wants to inflate the situation and not sort it out. The BBC also mentioned a leaked letter from one of his ministers. Words to the effect that this needs ramping up and an example must be made of the UK to show what happens when you leave the EU. It needs to be a warning of the consequences of leaving the bloc and to keep other members in line. Quite unusual for BBC to mention anything anti EU .

12gauge82 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I say we invade France, the war would be over in an afternoon, then tell the EU anymore nonsense and we'll nuke them, as we'll be the only nuclear equipped nation in Europe, we could even form an alliance with Russia and divide Europe up between us, start a new empire 😎😂😂😂 (ps I am of course joking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
