If the reports are to be believed the French do have a point ... while they are only allowed to fish in that area for a few months a year the Brits can fish there all the year round. It doesn't make a lot of sense particulary when sustainability of fish stocks is taken into account.

Just more EEC crap ?

I find it a little ironic that the French are moaning about what is left of the UK fishing fleet are having some of what they regard as their fish.They and the Spanish have been plundering our waters for years with impunity.

Send in what Navy? Whats left are worked hard these days, do not know if we would have the spare capacity to defend them?

Love the picture in the wail of what appears to be bootnecks labelled as fishery protection. Why do they bother?
