How fisherman's daughter dubbed the 'pirate of hope' sparked 'fishing war': Brexit-hating
hard-left French maritime minister Annick Girardin escalated tensions with threats to CUT
OFF Jersey's electricity
- Minister is a member of the Radical Party of the Left and a political street fighter
- 56-year-old grew up on French overseas territory of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon
- Was Francophone minister and has railed against impact of Brexit on fishing
Also responsible for fanning today's dispute is David Sellam, the head of the
Normandy-Brittany sea authority, who said that he believes Jersey has been
taken over by an 'extremist fringe who want to reduce French fishing access
and profit from Brexit'. He said: 'We're ready for war. We can bring Jersey to
its knees if necessary.'
