Thanks, as your pointless question will also.Obviously your endorsement will make all the difference.

Do you reckon? A way for Boris (in the background) to stir the pot, cause a few problems. Even the Jersey fisherman have slagged of their governing body for the way the licences were handled.The Jersey issue is nothing to do with British officials though is it?
Have you given yourself a new username?And out comes the bitter drivel.
So pointless, you repliedThanks, as your pointless question will also.
They're fairly decent at food and wine and they invented cinema and photography, so all the good stuff really.The only things the French are good at are demos, strikes and disruption, even against their own Government and people. They use the EU rules when it suits them (protections and subsidies for inefficient farming being one) and ignore the EU rules when it they don't. It makes me laugh when they they prevent imports of our agricultural and fresh produce when the UK health standards are often better than those in France. And they have always had a chip on their shoulder against the British, De Gaulle being a prime example.
Do Gibraltar or the Falklands Islands put their hands in their pockets to pay the Royal Navy?Are Jersey going to put their hands in their pockets to cover the cost of the Royal Navy, or are the UK picking up the bill?
Answers of a postcard please.

Do you drink Bitter Shandy?Jersey doesn't pay tax to the UK but we are sending our navy? I wonder why, perhaps tax haven status means the Tories are helping out, whilst the cretins on here get hard ons.
Agree completely. It would mean my combination of green and labour votes today would not be a complete waste of time.PR is the answer.
I’m not saying that the quality of the councillors would improve. Just that they’d be more representative.
More to the point do Jacob Rees Mogg and his mates put their hands in their pockets to pay for the Royal Navy and Airforce?Do Gibraltar or the Falklands Islands put their hands in their pockets to pay the Royal Navy?
Do Cyprus put their hands in their pockets for the cost of the Royal Airforce being there?
Nobber Fool.
Looked in a mirror recently?Nothing positive to say. Never known such a whingeing bunch with such big chips on their shoulders.
yeah, why do you ask?Looked in a mirror recently?
More to the point do the Royal family pay for security/protection?More to the point do Jacob Rees Mogg and his mates put their hands in their pockets to pay for the Royal Navy and Airforce?
Carla Bruni singing on stage gives you all the warm feeling of an entente cordiale.They're fairly decent at food and wine and they invented cinema and photography, so all the good stuff really.
You clearly don’t know the difference between a British Overseas Territory and a Crown Dependancy.Do Gibraltar or the Falklands Islands put their hands in their pockets to pay the Royal Navy?

Nobber Fool.
One silly answer deserves another in my book Nobber fool.You clearly don’t know the difference between a British Overseas Territory and a Crown Dependancy.
Lasher Loon.
That’ll be it. Thanks for educating us.Jersey doesn't pay tax to the UK but we are sending our navy? I wonder why, perhaps tax haven status means the Tories are helping out, whilst the cretins on here get hard ons.
It’s not a silly reply other than, you choose to say it is.One silly answer deserves another in my book Nobber fool.
You’ll be moaning about the IOM next if the Irish kicked off.
Stupidity of the highest order.
I guess I am the Jersey based seasider referred to earlier. Drove up to the harbour this morning to watch the circus going on. In terms of why should we be protected if we do not contribute to British Defence, the fact is we do. We have a territorial army that has served alongside British professionals in Afganistan, Iraq and other war torn countries. Also there are many servicemen in the professional forces who come from the channel islands. I also believe Jersey paid for and supports the maintenance of a British Navy Warship (though I am not 100 per cent certain of this) The Jersey government however is filled with incompetent fools. I fully expect them to cave on all issues and the French will get their way.
Can’t see anyone wanting to do business with the Eu, fall foul of them and they’ll cut off your electricity.This episode really sends a great message out to the rest of the world. We are global Britain and want to do new trade deals with you, but if you end up not happy with the agreement and protest, we'll be straight in with the war ships. Still want to do business with us?
Of course it was stupid why the hell bring up the point are Jersey going to foot the bill for the Royal Navy.It’s not a silly reply other than, you choose to say it is.
Plus. It’s highly unlikely you’ll hear the phrase, “I counted them all out, and I counted them all back” in relation to the Jersey “my dad's bigger than yours” handbag fight.
You really underestimate yourself, in terms of stupidity.
However, despite what Jersey politicians are up to, Jersey fishermen are suffering badly due to Brexit. Jersey’s population cannot consume all they catch. The French will not allow catches to be landed in French ports and all exports have to have wads of paperwork. The French fishermen are still getting EU subsidies while Jersey’s never got anything and the UK Govt has not filled the gap.Because they used to voluntarily comply with the Single Market arrangements in order to easily trade with the EU, mainly France. That had to change following official Brexit on 1st January as the EU would not contemplate continuation.
And the new TCA agreement between the UK and the EU replaced the previous fishing agreements. However it may be that Jersey is using the new agreement to try and reduce French fishing activity in their waters to try and regenerate stocks. Jersey no longer wants fishing in their waters to be free for all comers.
We? I wondered why you'd not answered to one of your factually incorrect posts yesterday. Manning the top deck ready to repel boarders.do fcuk off FY8. The French trawlers came to bully us, so we gave them a bit more than they bargained for.
Note to all: Please have your posts vetted, by Jaffa the Nut, prior to posting. Apparently, he's the self appointed arbitor ofOf course it was stupid why the hell bring up the point are Jersey going to foot the bill for the Royal Navy.
You also really underestimate yourself in terms of stupidity.
Anyway as overnight results have proven in Hartlepool Boris is firmly in the driving seat in all he does at the moment or am I being stupid again?
Enjoy your day I will.
If you think Boris is a fit and proper driver of the bus. Yes, you are being stupidOf course it was stupid why the hell bring up the point are Jersey going to foot the bill for the Royal Navy.

Get over it Wizz, your politics and views are so outdated. Not me saying that, it's the country.We? I wondered why you'd not answered to one of your factually incorrect posts yesterday. Manning the top deck ready to repel boarders.
I'm outdated, while you're advocating gunboat diplomacy.Get over it Wizz, your politics and views are so outdated. Not me saying that, it's the country.
whereas you think it's perfectly acceptable for French trawlers to invade our waters and blockade our ports.I'm outdated, while you're advocating gunboat diplomacy.
And you are still wrong about automatic promotion
Read the thread. At no point have I defended the French actions. Not once.whereas you think it's perfectly acceptable for French trawlers to invade our waters and blockade our ports.
Back your country and it's right to protect its waters for once in your life. The French showed their aggression and didn't expect the response they got. Job got done didn't it?
Well it worked.Read the thread. At no point have I defended the French actions. Not once.
They're out of order. Our response though, is disproportionate and was a cynical ploy designed to influence Thursday's vote by bringing out exactly the responses we've seen on this thread.

I'd rather hand you over to the French.Would it not be easier to hand over these islands nearer to France anyway

You really didn't think things through there did you BHOK?Can’t see anyone wanting to do business with the Eu, fall foul of them and they’ll cut off your electricity.
But at no point do you ever seem to defend out actions. Your second post on the thread was to criticise the UK.Read the thread. At no point have I defended the French actions. Not once.

French would have retreated back into Germany.Our response has not been disproportionate, those boats would still have been there otherwise. It is not acceptable for Jersey boats to congregate en masse in French ports causing mayhem, why should the french be allowed to get away with something that is clearly not acceptable.
It wasn't the EU though. It was individual French fishermen. Whereas it was the UK government that sent in the war machinery.You really didn't think things through there did you BHOK?
So it wasn't the French govt threatening to cut of the electricity to Jersey then? That is the French govt that are part of the EU are they not? Like i said you didn't think things through in your haste to knock the UK. That's all you ever do isn't it? .It wasn't the EU though. It was individual French fishermen. Whereas it was the UK government that sent in the war machinery.
