We're sending in the navy now*.


*2 x offshore patrol vessels.

Nothing I've read has really given me an idea of how unreasonable the new fishing rules are or if the French fishers are being dicks (once you get past the whole, this is unnecessary, if only it had been rolled into the Kingdom of France along with the rest of the duchy)

The French threat to cut Jersey's power supply off is the funniest thing that's happened in 2021 so far.

Did no-one tell Macron that this was the best thing that could happen for Boris ON POLLING DAY??????

[ursus arctos]

I'm not at all sure that the Fisheries Minister had consulted the Elysee before mentioning the electricity cables in the National Assembly.

She isn't a member of his party and Fisheries isn't even her primary portfolio.

Stuffing it up yer Superleague now officially one of the major Benefits of Brexit according to Johnson

They're ideological allies, so may be deliberate.

Really?????

Economic liberals with some minority-bashing. I mean, I am stretching this and also talking about Johnson splashing the cash on Teesside on another thread, but.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Economic liberals with some minority-bashing. I mean, I am stretching this and also talking about Johnson splashing the cash on Teesside on another thread, but.

Donald trump, Erdogan, bolsonaro, orban, netanyahu, vladimir putin, and Dutuerte are the ideological allies of johnson. That's where the UK is I'm afraid.

[sw2borshch]

Yeah, Johnson is in with the national liberal/fash adjacent gang, it was something of a gag/dis on Macron. I still maintain he may intend to go in a PiS direction, which is not really any better.

Fucking scum country.

[Antepli Ejderha]

I thought this would happen after June 30th, seems like they are getting some practice in now before the main event.

[Nefertiti2]

I guess the Border Agency have always been cunts, now they are being cunts to Europeans too

[Discordant Resonance]

This sounds legally implausible - the UK wants to scrap the NI Protocol on the grounds of force majeure!

[ursus arctos]

I was going to suggest - "Siri, show me bad faith"

"Lord" Frost is an arsehole, a mediocrity propelled into the front rank by his consistent willingness to do the wrong thing in order to cement his personal standing with his sponsors. The UK deserves him. Ireland doesn't.

It comes to something that the thought of lack of talent and inexperience being the main obstacles to damage containment on the British side counts as an idealistic fantasy.
