I might start getting The Star. Looks like a new version of Viz.
I'm not into chanting. Just stating an undeniable fact.
Nowt wrong with a bit of patriotic humour, it's one of the things lacking in the woke Labour party.
Just been reading about all this, it seems that Jersey have no objections about the French fishing there "as they have for centuries" but under the Brexit deal they had to provide historic proof that they had fished there, 41 boats did but 17 didn't.
As they said, the rules weren't made by Jersey and France, they were agreed by the UK and the EU.
None of us like all the rules we have to abide by but we can't just choose which ones to ignore.
Unless you're French of course, they are famous for it.

The biggest problem is they've asked for digitised data. They won't accept the written fishing logs. As the majority are day boats they do not have the computers that automatically save the data. Gurnsey accepted the written logs, Jersey decided to go down the same route as the UK, wanting 5 years data.
It's as if Jersey decided to use this to get rid of a few French boats, forgetting their own boats land in Normandie.
Not sure really, it read as if they were happy to have the French fishing there but who knows.

Getting to the facts isn't easy these days. Also the data wanted was from as far back as 2012. A lot of boats have uprated their systems in the last few years so current data is easier to supply.

Juin, regionale
Unfortunately demanding difficult to obtain information is a standard procedure for many small minded petty officials. Or being exceedingly pedantic over how a form is filled in. We were hearing stories back in January of Netherlands customs officials being particularly pedantic to UK lorry drivers as one example. I've seen it 1st hand with US immigration who send people to the back of a long line due to not filling in one box on an entry card, instead of allowing them 5 seconds to do it at the desk.
In this particular case GPS data was being demanded to prove that boast had traditionally fished Jersey waters despite it not being compulsory for vessels under 15 meters and not compulsory for any fishing vessel until 2016
I expect that was fully reported on the BBC news because why would they hide such a thing? I'd still have a tenner on Marine heading to the top job and that's the end of the EU.

See how things are twisted, remember the Photo of the "gillet Jaune" riots. It was the world cup celebration!

It's just the normal anti government mob consisting of yellow vests, anti vaxxers, libertarians, hard left and hard right and folk who don't like Macron. They are saying it was only 215,000 across the whole of France, which when you compare it to the 600,000 who were queuing to get vaccinated on the same day puts it in perspective. The good thing is, for such a rally of nut jobs, social anarchists and ordinary people they have all been very peaceful and good natured, from what I can tell. But the polls show between 60-70% of the population are happy support Macron's vaccine rules atm.

Interesting - so @Henarar - is the page you shared from some sort of satire site or is it deliberately disingenuous political lies? Will you continue to follow it and share similar lies with us again, knowing now what you presumably didn't before?

Petra read on Czech news yesterday, the Paris protest was 250,000
. Bloody hot day to be stood in a huge group in a city. Tbh, they are now not protesting against the vaccine but against the loss of free will as to whether you have it or not. I fully agree, but not sooooo much to go protesting in Paris. 
I’ve found out I obviously have no principles as I just did as I was told and toddled along for my dose of experimental drugs

Well, you did comment that the protest was against macrons covid vaccination passports. In 2015. Even more incredible that macron wasn’t even President in 2015. Stunning
