UK fishermen 'attacked by French'

Jimbuna · 10-11-12, 09:59 AM

No it's got nothing to do with Cod and Iceland but this time it's about Scallops and the French....oh and a French fishery protection vessel that refused to intervene...no surprises there then

The British fishermen are asking for Royal Navy protection but some of us Brits might well ask....what is this Royal Navy you speak of?

Fishermen are calling for Royal Navy protection after claims they were attacked by French vessels.
Kevin Lochrane, from East Sussex, said he was surrounded by seven or eights boats in international waters 15 miles off Caen in a dispute over scallops.

Let's try again -

I heard about the scallop thing on Jeremy Vine's show, iirc Clinton Powell is a part owner of one of the boats, and was nowhere near his son, who was actually on the boat. Get it together BBC.

Scallop dredgers always seem to upset other fishermen.

OK, let me get this straight...
S. Korea vs N. Korea in fishing dispute
China vs Japan in island dispute
France vs Britain in fishing dispute

Fish are starting WWIII!

Jimbuna · 10-11-12, 05:49 PM

I hope not but could be

Cybermat47 · 10-11-12, 06:19 PM

It's probably an attempt to kill off all of us, so we stop eating them.

Now, I've heard of The Birds, but The Fish?

Seriously?

Stranger things have been known to happen

Can't think of any, but I'm sure some wars have started from food rights.

England/ France historically does come to mind.

Don`t forget Norway and Russia. They pull out enormous ammounts of fish ilegally from Norwegian waters. Someone should sink their fishing fleet.
