Gunboats?

God Boris, you're really losing the plot. Was that Dominic sneaking out the back in a burka? This must be his idea surely.
How have fishery protection vessels been 're-labelled gunboats? Not a good thing to prod French fishermen unnecessarily cos we know how they'll react then we'll have to rouse dormant Hornblower RN from his long slumber to sort them out. Those truck queues are going to get a lot longer.

What a load of cock! First ask just who has called them 'gunboats' and why?

These are the precise same RN fisheries protection vessels that were previously defending 'EU waters' and nobody said a word in criticism, they will now be protecting their own country's waters, so all the whingers are having a meltdown. Hypocritical idiots.

I dont see whats wrong with protecting our waters. The french boats would only start a fight with ours and somebody would get hurt, this way the french are warned off and nobody gets harmed. Good on boris for standing up for british boats and the rule of law. I hope these boats will put immigrants off from crossing too.

Everybody talking about what the British navy are going to do seem to be forgetting that the French have a navy too !

No, I’m suggesting that the French navy could engage in defensive activity if their fishing fleet is threatened.
Engaging in action in another countries territorial waters ? I doubt even the Frencb would think that would be a good idea.
Remember the uproar when the government introduced measures to protect the unity of the UK from the WDA impact on NI and now it appears some of those same people are in uproar about the UK protecting our waters from the french breaking the law and potentially being aided by the french navy.
