UK attempts to ban Russians from legally fishing in British waters

1. Murder on British soil is quite illegal, and we’ve never managed to stop them doing that.

2. Yes, lets punish ordinary working Russian people because of the actions of one lunatic dictator.

   People suggesting we should punish all Russian’s for Putin’s actions, presumably think we Brits should all pay for Boris’ lockdown party fines?

   EDIT – Putin supporters out in force downvoting this one….

3. I am laughing to hard for this. Brexit was like 50% fishing laws, and especially this you can’t fix? The EU you so despise did this this 2 months ago!

4. I didn’t know this was even a thing. It’s a long way from Russia’s coasts.

5. This absolutely needs to stop. It’s insane to allow any access to any Russian vessels after their sabotage operation on Nord Stream.

   The Russians are actively mapping North Sea infrastructure in preparation for future attacks so they shouldn’t have so much as a rowing boat in our waters.

6. They should be boarded, rounded up and sent on a tour of Salisbury Cathedral before being sent home with a T-Shirt… also Tours cost one ship.

7. Worth remembering we managed to lose the Cod War against Iceland (the country not the supermarket).

8. How do you ban something that’s already illegal? Is there an “and we REALLY mean it this time clause”

9. But not from Russians putting money into Tory bank accounts
