Shouldn’t that headline be “....fishing roe turns nasty...”? ;-)
France wouldn’t even exist if not for Great Britain.
Their precious language would be dead. They’d be speaking
German.
‘Militant fishermen’ is not something I equate with our fine art of angling, even if commercially saltwater fishing for food and profit. I have in the past, however, threatened to pole-whip a few asses for invading my invisible fishing space, especially when I find a good honey hole on the backwaters here and I arrived first. I mean, it’s just rude, you know?

There is a history of these sot of “fish fights” in Europe.
and with this morning’s breaking news that France “stole” 5 million doses of UK destined vaccine doses - the very vaccine they said was not safe - and you get the picture. France’s government is out of control.
France is trying to speak on behalf of the entire EU and it’s time for Germany to tell France to STFU.
French and British been fighting for centuries. Not going to stop now.
“threatened to blockade Calais”
Is this a fishy version of “Fog in Channel, continent cut off” headline?
Well, if it was only for cod, I’d let them duke it out just for the halibut. (Eyebrow wiggle to you ice-fishing shack types.)
Globalist boy Macron must have investment in some French fishing exchange.
Either him or more likely, his Globalist handlers.
LOL
Good one!
Someone is going to be schooled. /rimshot
