If you're going to continue to make stuff up there is no point trying to correct you.
Please stop making up your own arguments when they have no basis in truth.
French ships cannot fish within our 6 mile zone.
The rules are very clear.

The French shellfish boats are already banned except for the two voisinage agreements as listed in that legal text.
Again; we do not buy what these boats catch.
That's why it was exported.
We do not need to import anything which we do not buy.
See if you can give one good reason why the principles of supply and demand cannot apply here as they do in most things and why we cannot
have a smaller but sustainable industry primarily supplying our own homegrown requirements?
Surely that is better for the environment too.
Win win then.
Our dairy and livestock farmers don't produce milk or beef they can't sell.
In fact no business produces goods which there is no market for.
You might not like it but the case of these fisherman is no different.
