Chap from Jersey interviewed on Radio 4 news yesterday. He explained that (some of) these boats not granted licences could not prove previous fishing as they did not have log books for the time. The operators are still saying they fished during the reference period backed up by the French Authorities. The Jersey chap said so in that case the operators were breaking the law (EU Law) by not completing a log book at the time. He was making the point that in that case the operators cannot have it both ways.
Anyway my view - we should nuke the French.
Last time I heard we (UK) were no where near self sufficient in beef.Why would this affect the UK beef price?
I suspect Ursula has told Mannu the french will have to put more in the lovely EU slush fund , hence his disproportionate reaction to anything British

But whatever goes on at the French/English channel ports has no influence at Holyhead or Cairnryan.
I thought it was the European Union?
Or is it European ‘every man for himself’……

I assume it would be a unilateral action by France. Fishing rights around the Channel Islands had pre Brexit always been agreed locally by the individual island parliaments and the Normandy region rather than Westminster and Paris, which is probably causing the friction this time. Although there has always been odd flare-ups in the past like the Cherbourg incident in 1993.I thought it was the European Union?

Vallance has already told us to stop eating so much so that's not a problem. I'm sure we can rustle up a decent supply of turnip and beetroot pies as long as we don't stand on any beetles while harvesting them. Parsnip wine is good too although the one my dad made when I was a kid turned out to be about 200% proof.

Actually, that guy on here who claims to know it all about France but actually knows jack sh!t and keeps moaning about it has me in stitches. I definitely hope he carries on making a fool of himself

@czechmate I find it quite incredible the amount of advice given when you don’t even want or need it, usually given by those not qualified or able to give it. I generally ignore it.

Yes. When I realised the rest of the uk land had to go, 6 years ago, which was going to leave me with a sum to invest, every one had an opinion. I got, “buy a flat in Paris, buy a house in La Rochelle, by houses in Leicestershire, buy houses in Montmorillon”.
. I have NO interest in buy to let’s. If I ignore my time, after the next harvest this “spare” farm will have paid for itself- I could give it away and not be out of pocket. It hasn’t been a disaster by any means. I do moan about it I know, as it means I have to work non stop which isn’t why we came here at this time in life and I can’t just employ someone, not because we can’t afford it but because everyone here is fully employed 
Yes, the place is on the market, it may sell this year or in ten years, it doesn’t matter... and even when it does; I still have no idea what would be a better investment
