I’m waiting for Boris to grow a We are being taken advantage of due to our weak government. We’re stuffed.

[garyreid]

Imagine if the french had to lose some fishing boats…. Like the uk has over the last 30 years

Won’t be drowning my sorrows in French wine.

sounds like a declaration of war to me.

We need to cut off from France yes big ask but what else can we do. If we ever had an excuse for Brexit this is it.

[joeblogs]

Jersey need to go back to oil, and cut the reliance on France, job done, hit France in there pocket.

[rodsimmons]

The European Union negotiated the fishing agreement. STOP THE BREXIT PAYMENTS TO THE EUROPEAN UNION IF FRANCE CONTINUES ALONG THIS PATH !!!

French fishermen have the longest coast line in Europe, why are the being allowed to drain our coast of fish, stop cow -towing to the moaning French. enough is enough.

I don't believe Macron has the balls to shut Jersey off. He's a turkey 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

This situation demonstrates why German dependency on Russian gas is such a bad idea. If the French are willing to threaten the cutoff of the UK's power for political advantage, it should be obvious that the Russians could potentially do the same to Germany on a much larger scale.

We should tell the French to sort out the migrant problem or all of their fishing boats can sod off!

[bazrobb]

CONFISCATE ALL FRENCH BOATS IN PAYMENT FOR LACK OF ELECTRICITY .

[jonbarrett]

Is there any way the UK can supply power instead?

[gregoryellsmore]

If the UK is now a sovereign independent nation - why doesn't the coast guard or navy just force the French boats out of UK waters?

[cliffpeiris]

What a good excuse for Jersey to throw the 75 outstanding applications in the bin!

[joeblogs]

Need to cut off all French fishing in return, if that's how they want to play it.

[off__world]

There wont be any fish left in a hundred years anywhere, pure greed

[crusn]

We could have a cable supply to Jersey in no time, just make a decision and get on with it.

[jackk]

Send every military generator we have, cut the power cable from France and give them the ancient archers hand gesture.
