British fishermen should behave more like the French .
Why would British fisherman want to blockade the Jersey port of St Helier?
Obviously go and block French ports ( and Norwegian )

What purpose would it serve, apart from adding to climate change? There is a failure of the British government here. Ref the article you have quoted.
The failure of the UK government to seal a fishing quota deal with Norway – despite heralding a “historic” Brexit agreement with the country last year – is a disaster that will have serious consequences, say fishery leaders.
The UK government as has been mentioned before has consistently sold the British quota to other countries. It has made a balls up of the Brexit agreement on so many issues and now you are suggesting that fishermen make the useless gesture of blockading French and Norwegian ports. I repeat what purpose would it serve? How would it help British fishermen? Fishing contributes 0.1% to the economy, hardly big fish in the order of things.

Is expresso being serious or a wind up in the form of a take off of the morons like the one on Question Time who said the mistake the Navy made was in not firing on the French boats?
