Brexit hit us too: Jersey fishermen react to French protest AFP 5/9/2021 AFP © Sameer Al-DOUMY French fishing boats protested in midweek off Jersey s main port of Saint Helier over what they see as unfair post-Brexit restrictions If it goes on like this, there won t be any more fishing around here, warns Loic Farnham, a 30-year-old fisherman, after post-Brexit rule changes prompted a furious French protest. Jersey s picturesque main port of Saint Helier on Thursday saw French fishermen stage an angry protest over the new system of allocating fishing rights. A flotilla of boats sailed over at dawn and threatening to blockade the harbour. The standoff briefly escalated, with Britain sending over gunboats.

Jersey fishing row: French threats pretty close to act of war | Jersey

Last modified on Wed 5 May 2021 13.26 EDT France’s response to post-Brexit fishing restrictions around the island of Jersey has been described as “pretty close to an act of war” by fishing community leaders in St Helier. They say they have been told 100 boats are being lined up in France for a 6am blockade at the main Channel Island port on Thursday, threatening food and energy supplies. “It was inevitable that the French would kick off,” said the head of the Jersey Fishermen’s Association, Don Thompson. “But the reaction we’re seeing from France is almost like something you would see from Iran or Russia. They’re not just saying they can cut off the electricity supply, French fishermen are saying that they’re coming tomorrow [Thursday] to blockade the harbour in time to stop the ferries from coming in so there’ll be no food supply and no fuel coming into the island either. So it comes pretty close to an act of war, this.”
