If we don't leave, and don't have another referendum, democracy will have failed. If we have another referendum, with the options A) Stay in B) Leave with a crap deal that no one wants, then again Leavers will understandably feel betrayed. If there is a better worded second referendum, and...
Yes, but as I said, it wasn't fishermen on the 10m boat that were throwing things, it was fishermen on a French 30m boat.
Anyway, enough distraction from Brexit already.
I don't think the Honeybourne changed its course to ram the French boat, it looks like the French boat cut across the Honeybourne. The footage was taken from another French ship, and they haven't released all the footage. And the people throwing things weren't on the 10m boat, they were on...
Firstly it seems daft that there was an agreement with no legal standing.
Is really that 'the British' as a whole broke the agreement, and that 'the British' aren't concerned with protecting stocks, or was it a small number of large boats that broke the agreement?
Yeah that's how I remember it too. The French fisherman should have been on at the French fisheries dept at the start, to make sure they weren't restricted while the British were allowed to continue. Instead of banning the French fishermen, the French fisheries should then have been working with...
Protesting? Obviously they weren't just protesting, which is the point.
If the rules aren't protecting the fishermen, because they're allowing wealthy companies to over-fish, change the rules.
We? Isn't there a department within the EU that would hear the French complaints and make the rules for the fishing? There were rules, and the British boats were fishing within them when they were attacked.
Who is letting the facts get in the way? Certainly not me. So a British boat broke the rules twice, and got fined each time. That doesn't suddenly make it lawful for the French fisherman to attach the British boats.
Er, that's innocent, since fishing then is within the law. The French fisherman broke the law by damaging the British boats.
They didn't object, they broke the law. You seem to be putting spin on this. Presumably our fishing methods are the same as they've been for years - if it's causing a...
