Yeah ... I'm pretty sure that characterising David Davis' comments as delusional for not allowing for the militancy French fishermen is missing his point by quite a bit. One might even suspect you're wilfully doing so.

French fishermen were a known quantity in 2016. If you choose to ignore that, so be it.
That being said, I believe the electricity threat to be an empty one. Those making the threat are deluded too.

As I suspected ... wilful ignorance. If this is the best you can do, I won’t trouble you any further.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Sod the French fisherman and their nasty government. Reading the article linked by Hugh, the French fisherman are way out of order and the licences need to be enforced. If they blockade the ports against UK boats landing their catch, then the dispute mechanism must be inviked.
They really are the enemy.

Re: Britain outside the EU
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.

A gratuitous piece of prejudice. The situation in Jersey is very important in terms of the EU treaty with the UK/Jersey.

Yes, it was very obliging of French politicians to help Boris out by threatening to cut off Jersey's electricity supply. And those French fishermen are obviously massive Boris fans, cluttering the port like that.

No just more opportunism from Boris trying to be Churchillian.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Nice to see the Telegraph being selective in their history...
Forgetting to mention the other aspects, like deporting the Jewish people in Jersey to the death camps, deporting other Islanders en masse to Germany, where many died in labour camps, sending Jersey Resistance members to concentration camps, built fortifications using forced labour, which killed thousands of imported slave labourers, amongst many other horrific actions.
But at least they kept the lights on...
(my brother has lived in Jersey for nearly 30 years, having moved there in the 90s - the locals do not remember the Occupation fondly, so this headline is going down like a turd in a trifle)
