Spain should do same thing to the other pirates from Gibraltar.

what do you expect from the spineless French ,doing Germanys bidding nothing new there .

I'm glad we are getting on so well with the EU now!

So hold on, Brexit was about returning sovereignty to the UK (and territories) and, reluctantly, the EU accepted Brexit. But ... but we actually use that sovereignty and the French get pissy about it, telling us we can't do it? Hmmmm ... good job we left when we did.

Sounds like it's for France and Jersey to sort out, guess the French haven't see Seaspiracy yet.
