So who is being the bully here?

Quote:
A French government threat to cut off Jersey's electricity over a post-Brexit fishing dispute is "disproportionate", a senior Jersey politician has said.

External Relations Minister Ian Gorst said a "misunderstanding" over a new licensing system had led to the row.

French Maritime Minister Annick Girardin threatened "retaliatory measures" over the new licensing regime for fishing in Jersey's waters.

About 95% of Jersey's electricity comes from France via undersea cables.

The row emerged over a new licensing system for French fishing vessels introduced by the Government of Jersey under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).

Jersey issued 41 licences for access to its waters on Friday when an interim agreement came to an end.
