re: #186 Jay C
I have a feeling that the Tory Government is
thinkingImagining they will be relying on the Royal Navy to “control Britain’s waters”, like they did in Victoria’s day. And just send a few dreadnoughts out to chase off any grubby foreigners deigning to fish in “their” territory.
A fantasy that will collapse the moment that a Royal Navy destroyer is forced to choose between firing on a civilian fishing ship or allowing it to go on its way.
I’m sure that will make negotiating trade agreements with those states that fish in “British waters” all the more fun.////
