Observer II Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 With Dutch super-trawlers now emptying our waters of fish, and marine mammals, in a last minute fishing binge; the RN are deploying four corvettes to guard our fishing grounds. Meanwhile, in a show of EU dis-unity; the despicable French are preparing to safeguard their own waters against other EU trawlers; clearly no honour amongst thieves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 M.Macron seems determined to ensure we leave on WTO terms. Bravo ca homme 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well he certainly seems to have upset his fishermen, in his attempts to spite the UK. Interesting that the RN are being given powers to arrest foreign trawler masters operating within UK waters; which poses the question, why didn't they do this with illegal migrants ? 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't arrest illegal migrants at sea because they haven't broken any laws until they land and enter the country illegally, when it becomes the job of the police. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Will you be returning to the quarter deck Mr Asperity ? You could threaten the errant EU fishermen with 3 years on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Seems the EU are still demanding access to our fishing waters; just hope Boris sticks to his guns. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 They can have access to our fish provided that they pay for it - like we've had to pay for access to their single market for the last 40 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Think the idea should be to reduce fishing overall by keeping them out, thus improving our fish stocks. Notice the SNP are threatening not to enforce protection of Scottish (UK) waters. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
