Re: French blockade
Yes. indeed they do. This form of fishing is wicked. Apparently the Dutch tie electrodes to the bottom of their nets which sends pulses all around and stun the fish. but, don't expect any respect for the French Fishermen from me. Their response to the UK taking back our fishing grounds for the 200 miles surrounding us when we leave the EU?
"Well. you may own the 20 -mile zone, but you don't own the sea, so there is nothing to stop us catching most of the smaller fish stocks heading your way."
This, from the French, who are the first to always bleat about sustainable fishing. Spiteful, petty gits. They can ruddy well pay for the privilege of fishing in our waters, instead of robbing the English and Scottish fishermen of their industry. The Dutch take a quarter of our entire quota at present.
Let those beggars pay too. And that gobby Irish Premier, who is bleating that it will decimate the Irish Fishing Industry. Tough titty matey, you chose the EU instead of siding with us. Now you can pay to fish in our waters.
Rant over.
