Well, I know I've been respecting MrM's suggestion that I avoid the 'inflammatory' use of term "ENEMY" when describing France or the EU. But very little else epitomises what France is threatening as anything but inimical.

Here's the paywall link and some selected quotes:

French fishermen ‘could block Channel tunnel’ over licences row

French fishermen could block the Channel tunnel after being denied access to UK's waters as Jersey announced it would also grant fewer than half of the fishing licences demanded by Paris.

France's minister of the seas, Annick Girardin gave the UK two weeks to give ground on licences or face French or EU-imposed sanctions, including on energy supply to Jersey, UK students in France, railways and trade.

"We are demanding retaliatory measures at the European level. On the French level, what can we do?," she asked after a meeting with fishing officials in Paris.

That includes "the energy issue (cutting off Jersey's electricity supply from mainland France," she said.

"But let's also talk about welcoming students in France, rail and trade flows. I proposed to fishermen to prepare these responses over two weeks. There can be no more extra time."

To all you Remainers of the Hugh/Andrew type: We have left the EU so that we should not be dictated to by Brussels nor the French. I invite you to deprecate the French demands that we accede to their blackmail.

The least I expect from the Guvmin is to quickly send a couple of gunboats back to Jersey and enforce our/Jersey's rights.
