He seems incapable of accepting that UK is no longer subject to EUSSR bully boy tactics. Even his famously militant fishermen are telling him to "arrêtez de faire du showboating"!

should never have got this far

our side is apparently: there is a reference period where ships ABand C were recognised as fishers in the waters

and XYZ later applied and were told they didnt normally fish there so couldnt now....
