I'm kinda with the Frogs on this. Just doesn't make sense. Pretty sure our lot would complain if boot was on other foot.

BTW, scallops are orgasmic if done properly. Maybe pan seared in garlic butter with a bit of smoked bacon, sorry Lardon for the plebs out there.   ;)

Boot is on the other foot. Various other member states - mainly Spanish factory ships, but also the French among others,  have the right to come and plunder British fishing grounds while our trawlermen are struggling to earn a basic crust.
The UK fishing fleet is a shadow of what it was due to this.

Many years ago, this sort of thing would be looked upon as a declaration of war,and the fleet would have been sent to protect our interest's, (awaits a historical reference), but most off the fleet now is in dock, might need to resurrect the little ships.

The bad news is that we have very few frigates and destroyers on patrol in UK waters but we do have plenty at their berths due to manpower shortages. The good news that those carrying Tomahawk cruise missiles won't need to leave their berths to take out any target this side of Poland. 8) :y
