        French have moratorium on fishing for scallops in that area until 1st October in an effort to preserve stocks. That's the bone of contention!

        Brexit calm things? A strategist (100% correct so far to us) says 2 things. IF the UK gets an EU deal, UK citizens will be embolden to strike the EU where possible, AS a deal has a HUGE price tag! No deal, UK citizens will fight our EU 'friends' for it's brutality! #NewsExcel

        No. Imagine when British fishing grounds are entered by other fleets, post brexit?

        2/"It's the authorities in London, not Brussels, who set the rules under which industrial fishing companies dominate the market, and allow the "leasing" of fishing quotas by big companies, while some other EU governments, like France, do not.

        "British fishermen are already feeling hard done by, because the vast majority of their EU fishing quotas go to larger British industrial fishing fleets," /2

        Well apparently a big part of the reason people voted for it was to support the tiny tiny part of the economy represented by fishing, in summary who cares

        I don't suppose the French trawlermen will face attempted murder charges after this with flares setting light to boats and endangering UK boats. Will be swept under carpet and forgotten as all usual with European behaviour
