UK sends Royal Navy ships to patrol Jersey amid fishing row with France

Fishermen who claim their rights are being unfairly restricted are protesting at Jersey's St Helier port.

No 10 said it was sending two Navy vessels to "monitor the situation".

HMS Severn, which has previously been used to shadow Russian navy warships off the English coast, and HMS Tamar arrived near Jersey on Thursday morning.

The ships are routinely used for fisheries protection - with sailors able to board other boats for spot checks.

Oh dear how sad for the poor french fishermen, i feel sure that in the fullness of time these fishing permits can be sorted out but as the EU knows the wheels of bureaucracy turn extremely slowly ,i'm sure given 6-15 years it can be ironed out.
