Restonbabe Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Seems shit has hit the fan fishing in the English chanel if you are registered as a British ship. France has held hostage a Scottish fishing boat and its looking tasty. Britain has summoned a French minister for talks. France has issued an ultimatum. Another cod war Game on!!!

Its just the usual French overreaction that isn't going to help their cause at all. The issue is that the French want the access they had to all British waters while we were in the EU and think this tantrum will magically give them it.
