Re: French Fishermen attack our Boats
As I understand it this is nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with different French/British law as to when you can fish for scallops. The French have a law that says they should give the waters a rest so the scallops can replenish. We don't.I'd say it's the French who are right with the law and maybe we should have the same law. Seems more environmentally friendly.
When was the last time anyone here ate scallops?

The French fishermen, on the contrary, were acting outside of the law in physically attacking the British fishermen, and that should not be tolerated.
Anyone but our wishy washy government, headed by our even more wishy washy PM, would have reacted to those attacks by sending in the military.
As for the last time I ate a scallop, that was last week in Belgium. A lonely scallop, along with two lonely prawns, were occupying my 'prawn tagliatelle'. Far more tagliatelle than prawn, it has to be said.
I believe I posted about that on here some days ago.

Hopefully by this time next year we will.
