On the Illegals they are waiting
for the Money to arrive,
it has not, yet.
When they get the Millions,
the French Police Chief said last month
he will then stop them all.


The Fishing zones fight has been going for years,

[The BBC has confirmed the boat being
held is called the Cornelis Gert Jan,
which operates mostly into and
out of the port of Shoreham, in West Sussex,
and is operated by MacDuff Shellfish of Scotland.

MacDuff Shellfish said its fishing activity
was "entirely legal" and the vessel
was "legally fishing for scallop" in
French waters when it was detained by the authorities.

The firm said it would defend itself
against any claims and that its boat
was just "another pawn" in the
ongoing France-UK fishing row
and urged the UK government
to "defend the rights of the UK fishing fleet".]

All Out Politics
says that Trawler has a licence to Fish there,
they assume it was withdrawn by the French - without any warning?

Jersey has approved more Licences
but so long as they have fished there, before.

The UK gives out EU Licences now.

That boat is still under French Control
I hope they are feeding them well.
