They wouldn't really go through with that would they? Would be an ultra-aggressive, almost war-like move...

Is mr islander in? What do the locals reckon?

Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

No, they wouldn't go ahead with that.

Just some minister playing for the crowd.

It does feel like you're right but the fact he's a minister and feels free to make such threats says a lot imo.

Yeah but on that scale? Maybe farage has made some similar 'we should' style statements, but have any of our ministers threatened to effectively bring down a society? Genuine question - my memory is crappy....

Yes, but that's got to be a smaller scale thing - a society without lecy can't function.

It’s all about scallops. From reports locally here which may well be biased, the French are trying to re-negotiate a previously agreed quota deal.

Interesting, ta. Seems like a very heavy handed negotiating stance, more like you'd expect from Putin than the French.

It's classic Putin except the Russians actually do turn off the gas in the winter if they don't get what they want.

Luckily for the UK, a society without common sense or logic can sort of function.

You're forgetting Ulla, a few months ago our politicians were threatening to send gunboats to protect British fishing interests.

Because British Fish. With British passports and everything.

Yes I'm indeed forgetting that, but I still think that's on a totally different level. Isn't it normal for fisheries to be protected? Sure that Seaspriricy film featured the Sea Shephard boarding illegal fishing boats with guns off the coast of Africa, for instance.

Fair enough - just seems like they're very free to go all in so soon. You could say its our fault for brexiting, but even so, I'm not sure that act deserves these threats even if they are just grandstanding.

Surely you have enough offshore wind farms to be sustainable and self sufficient for electricity? Call their bluff and let them switch the supply off and then wonder why it is having no effect.

That's a good one actually, given the historical context. But... (!).... still not on the level of threatenning the entire function of a society imo.
