The French have now sent war ships to Jersey.

About time we stood up to the French and they learned that we are not in the EU and they have no say over us anymore. If they enter UK waters then it should be one across the bow and the next into the hull.

Some of the Jersey fishermen have sympathy with their French colleagues.
Jersey is neither in the UK, nor is it situated within UK waters.
Bet Boris is rubbing his hands with glee , in his tiny little mind this is his " Falklands. "
I can't find any mention of French warships, just French fishing boats.
Why is anyone in the UK the least bit concerned about Jersey - they contribute rather less than naff-all to the well-being of anyone but themselves.

They pay no taxes, obfuscate any attempt to extract information on crimes in general (and financial crimes in particular), come crying for help if it suits them, but then run away and collaborate at the least hint of enemy action.

Can you explain your last line please Sunny Dave?
Agincourt was the French trying to defend their country from a British invasion. I don't see how that equates to the current situation. But hey ho, why let such discrepancies stand in the way of your xenophobic jingoism.
SD: "Why is anyone in the UK the least bit concerned about Jersey - they contribute rather less than naff-all to the well-being of anyone but themselves" - I bet you had the same view about the Falklands Dave. Should we abandon our crown dependencies at the first sign of trouble?
Dave//Why is anyone in the UK the least bit concerned about Jersey -//
Because Jersey is a Crown Protectorate//
// not part of the United Kingdom, though the UK is constitutionally responsible for its defence.//
Canary, didn't the English win at Agincourt, they were outnumbered but won the day..
For Funks Sake its not a' gunboat' its a blinking French Police patrol boat with a gun on! Britain is the one who has sent two warships off to St Helier!
Britain didn't give a hoot for Jersey during WW2, why are they so bothered about it now , or do a few of Boris's Cronies live there ?.
Sacred bloody bleu!
perhaps Gulliver you should take a look at the reasons why Jersey fell under the occupation during WW2.

A French police boat with a cannon on it versus two huge Royal Navy warships equipt with helicopters and machine guns. I bet those british sailors are quaking in their boots lol!
always happy to supply a link with some actual facts gulliver, unlike you who never does.
The French said that Jersey has been slow in issuing fishing permits to the French, and it may be true, but to cause trouble the French are in the wrong. We must stand up to them, any way.
How can the French be in the wrong if its Jersey's fault they are not issuing fishing permits on time?
