Yes I am sure this will scare us. A few boats wasting time to not even block anything lol.
What I don’t get is why the guys that want the licences don’t just provide the proof that they have historically fished there as agreed?
And if they don’t have the proof why are they applying in the first place ..I mean they have to say where they got their catches from when they land them, so if they have been fishing the last few years the records will show it.
> Half a dozen fishing vessels blocked access to Calais port, the main gateway to Europe from the UK, in a 90-minute protest, with similar protests mounted in the port of Ouistreham and access roads to the Channel tunnel.
ROFLMAO. There are so few French fishing vessels affected that they can’t even manage to blockade a single port or road.
