Re: Britain outside the EU
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
|
Quote:
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.
|
Quote:
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.

Considering it's a rail tunnel, could be tricky...
(and a Panzer wouldn't fit on the carriages they use to carry cars/campervans/coaches/etc., as the maximum width is 2.55 metres, and the Panzer is 2.88 metres).
Back to the drawing board...

As has been previously stated (multiple times), we are all Leavers now.
It's most unlike the Telegraph to print something that would inflame antipathy towards the French/EU - I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!

You might have edited it out - but didn't you say something about a "mouthy French Mayor" to which I say can't wait for Mouthy Macron to climb into this.
That's the Mouth who dissed the AZ jab and is now miffed that Sanofi has pricked his pride by dropping their Covid vaccine.

Re: Britain outside the EU
It's not clear at this point if the non-issuance of licences that the French fishermen was technically correct or not. There seems to be a gap in the number of licences issued and the numbers of French vessels who traditionally fished in these water but if there's not the correct evidence that the vessels had traditionally fished in those waters then unlucky Jean-Pierre. Of course, that is taking a 'purist view' to the TCA.
However, the cynic in me does suggest that the timing of this does nicely coincide with what's going on in the country and a certain parties conference next week.

The advantage of a tank is that you can park where somebody is already parked.

And you don't have to swing wide on tight corners, you just take the side off the building.

You want to be careful …. Germany attempted to park an entire Panzer division in Poland. It didn’t end well.
