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

I wonder if the French feel obliged to do the same?

Edit: now this news is out, I also wonder if the French fishing boats leave now to get there before the navy? Or does the French govt escape its mad moment and stops those boats (assuming it has the power to do so)

I don’t think the French fishermen give a flying f-ck what their government does.

Failing French electricity company EDF aren't involved in the proposed nuclear power white elephant being proposed for Sizewell, here on the Suffolk coast, are they?
That could be embarrassing.

Hmmm ... probably going a little too far if I’m honest with you. Admire the sentiment though.

UK sending gunboats to “monitor” the situation. I’ll report if I hear gunfire.


A fitting way to commentate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s death.

Well my poll of where Johnson would send the first gunboat did not include a Jersey option so "Anywhere he damn well chooses" is declared the winner.

Surely the answer for Jersey must be to sign a better deal outside of the EU..

Though it might not be tariff free as most electricity deals involve paying a tariff - it would mean that Liz Truss could fix up something with Australia, Japan or now even India - the later knowing all about electricity as they supply so many goods to Currys

Maybe Jersey could have a look on EUswitch, which shows you where you can get a better deal on many things... like selling fish* , or dairy goods


* though not where to catch them

What’s Dudek done to upset the French?

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

"French fishermen are saying that they’re coming tomorrow [Thursday] to blockade the harbour in time to stop the ferries from coming in so there’ll be no food supply and no fuel coming into the island either. So it comes pretty close to an act of war, this.”

The protests were in response to Jersey changing the terms of licences just before they were issued (a bit sneaky that).

The threat to cut off electricity was merely a response to a question asked, rather than it being a 'first strike' threat. I expect Jersey will back down, as the UK with brexit (see EU ambassador).

However looking at a couple of the rags which pander to their Sads Army readership they are in full little Englander rant spewing out hate and misinformation at a rate faster than Eric Pickles feeding his face at the buffet.

And after 40 years of this sort of stuff is it any wonder those of limited intellect have fallen into line, fulfilling their role as useful idiots.

Tonight it will get dark.

Tomorrow is Friday.

I'll even post a link to a calendar tomorrow if I remember.

It's the French mate.
