The Joker 10 #3791 Posted December 12, 2021 Le French fishermen are threatening to go ahead with a pre-Christmas blockade of British goods entering Calais. UK and EU settle fishing row but French fishers vow to go ahead with blockade https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/12/france-drops-threat-of-trade-war-over-post-brexit-fishing-rights Paris, London and Brussels have dropped talk of a trade war and appeared to settle a dispute over post-Brexit fishing licences, but angry French fishers threatened to go ahead with a pre-Christmas blockade of British goods entering Calais. The European Commission and the French government signalled satisfaction with the result of an intensive fortnight of negotiations as the UK and Channel Islands governments agreed to issue 83 more operating licences before an EU deadline. The offer did not fully meet the demands of Emmanuel Macron’s government, however, and fishers in Brittany said they would go ahead with a planned blockade of Calais on 23 December. French vessels imposed a similar blockade at Calais, described at the time as a warning shot, in November. A vessel run by DFDS, a Danish shipping company, and a P&O ferry were forced to wait outside the port, the biggest entry point to the continent for British goods. I remember the good old days, when we were still members of the EU and we could simply bung the EU another few £billion to distribute to the French farmers and smooth things over. I wonder if those Royal Navy warships that Pretty Stupid has threatened to sink migrant boats with will be used to break the blockade?
