France impounds UK vessel accused of illegal fishing – BBC News

2 comments

1. Submission statement: France has impounded a UK fishing vessel it claims was fishing illegally in French waters. This comes days after The United Kingdom signed an unpopular fishing rights deal with the EU giving European Fishers access to British waters for 12 years. The British opposition has erupted in outcry over this, claiming its an example of France selectively enforcing laws specifically to punish britian. Calling attention to the hundreds of boats of refugees France let cross the channel

2. IMO: this is another serious black eye for the British government, clearly allowing themselves to be pushed around by their neighbors. They were just strong armed inti giving France and Germany access to their waters and before the ink dries the French very publicly arrest British in French waters. Starmers approval rating is already net -46% unless he manages an actual win anywhere this government has no hope in the next election
