Just seen a story about the navy putting 4 ships on the job of protecting British waters and his fishies. But what happens if the French fishing boats push on regardless and things get nasty? What force would the navy deploy and what response would the French make? Basically how far could it escalate in theory? |  |

No idea. It’s all politicking by Boris and his mob to look well ‘ard. Unfortunately he looks like a tit instead.
In all seriousness I thought it was British fishing companies who sold a lot of their fishing rights to overseas fishermen. Is this right? |  | | |

The French have never been able to best us at sea, so I don't see why we should start worrying now. No poncing about with manoeuvring for a prim and proper broadside, just straight at 'em and split their damned line. They'll be strewn all over the Outer Hebrides before you can say 'Kiss me Hardy'! |  |

Yeah, I think i saw a story putting this as we'd be nationalising those quotas, aka taking them back, presumably with no payment? Not sure. | |

Can someone (county) simply take something back? | | | |

the french fisherfolk will use their fishing boats to blockade all the ferry ports. far more effective than getting involved with the navy. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

We could lob floating cheese just behind them, then nick their paddles when they turn round for a scoff? | |

As they have at regular intervals over the past thirty years or more. They also like to pile tyres up, blocking roads, then setting fire to them.
Marginally more militant than French farmers. |  |
