>Fishers were intent on ensuring the protest was peaceful, and shortly after 7am cleared the exit from the harbour to allow a freight vessel out.
I think the warships are just posturing. We don't need to unload a barrage of anti-ship missiles on them just yet.
>Concerns a similar fishing dispute could occur in Guernsey have been expressed by a representative of the local fishing industry.
>The vice president of Guernsey Fisherman's Association, Dougal Lane, said the French extended the limits they were allowed to fish from their shores from 30km (19 miles) to 50km (31 miles) in 2020.

A dozen bootnecks in a paddle boat would be a better navy than Iceland's, I wish people wouldn't talk about the Cod Wars like they were an actual military conflict.
>>33534 We have so few ships to operate in support of HMS Queen Elizabeth that if the French fishing fleet were retooled as fast attack boats they could probably sink the damned thing.
Indeed remember that time that we just decided it was too important for us to not to control Iceland and we just took it over in a morning, and by the evening the Icelandic government had just accepted British rule.
