The EU Commission has been overseeing the matter and has offered no support to France. Under the agreement, EU fishing boats have to prove historic fishing practices in UK waters to get a UK licence. Most have, and have got a licence. 55 French boats cannot provide any proof whatsoever and the suspicion is they are trying it on to get a licence.

Yes, I know that's what they're saying.
 
I think we need to scale back and look at the bigger issue here.

So the French have opened with the first salvo in the Fishing wars by detaining a UK fishing vessel over night -

Can we now sink their fleet

I presume thats a bit tongue in cheek but there are some right dickheads out there who would love a war, or the thought of one.

The UK government has stated in its own parliament that it's prepared to break an international agreement, so why should it be believed in any dispute.

I don't know which side is in the right on this issue, but I do know that this UK government isn't trustworthy.

Who should we think is in the right regarding the fishing dispute? The French, or the nation that has openly stated that it is prepared to flout agreements that it has signed in good faith?

This is all the Brextards have now.

I've not followed the details of the latest fishing row that closely, Strolls, but the French have a little 'previous' when it comes to signing up to EU rules and regulations and then protesting when it doesn't work for them.

[Does BoJo do anything is 'good faith'? I doubt it]
