And no, this is not a joke. This is quite real.

Yahoo is now part of Oath

British fishermen have called on the Government to intervene, with some asking for Navy protection after UK boats were trapped by an armada of French fisherman furious at them stripping scallop beds before they are authorised to do so.

Rocks, smoke bombs and other projectiles were hurled at English and Scottish vessels during the confrontation in the early hours of Tuesday.

  1. I can't believe this is a real thing :russ:
  2. This Brexit issue has created more issues than it has solved it seems. :jbhmm:
  3. I wonder if something similar could happen to China and African coastal countries as well. It's been known that Chinese fishermen have been overfishing within African territorial waters and ignoring calls to cease.

Right? For most of the last millennia France has dominated the continent and the UK has been their primary countervalence. Seems weird it's taken this long for rivalries to stoke back up :heh:

The off-balancer is a unified Germany - which is a recent historical phenomenon, unless you count the Holy Roman Empire.
