England at War with France

[Serene]

Bojo has sent Gunboats across to Jersey for armed conflict with the French. The pre-empted response has been sponsored by the Daily Mail.

Reminds me of the Cod War. We lost that one.

Wetherspoons pubs have promised live coverage of all conflict, with 10p off a pint of Ale.

Fucking hell, did we need another thread, when the French have already retreated?

Another thread? I perused the forum and didnt see any, and I have just got home from work.

The UK’s exit from EU rules took place only 19 weeks ago and already the country has seen rioting in Northern Ireland, threats to cut off vaccine supplies and now has sent two gunboats to Jersey for an armed conflict with our nearest neighbour.

No, we haven't.

No, we haven't.

We have sent a few.

It's hardly surprising that it is, or should I say was, covered in these threads -

EU watch

Who wins a punch-up between the Brit and French navies? I was going to ask this, toe to toe, no nukes.

With the rest of the EU blockading us in solidarity, we’ll turn to America only to remember that Trump’s gone, Biden’s Irish, and US troops are being deployed to Dublin in a classic pincer movement. Rationing will begin just like in the good old days, the youth will be drafted, Scotland will revolt and overthrow Westminster rule, and Boris will hold torchlight rallies demanding the total destruction of our enemies.

Oui. Vive la France! I’ll say it every chance I get.

Not for a 'armed conflict', just to monitor the French fishermen's protest, and ensure they don't blockade the port.

But, you're 24 hours late with this news, the French trawlers have all fucked off home now.

Moi aussi. Je Vous remercie.

The fishermen have. Macrons sending his subs over.

What should it be called? All good conflicts need a name. The Pelagic Putsch? The Battle of the High Voltage Cable? World War III?

I’ve watched every episode of Spiral. Putain de merde.

First the Germans, now the French, maybe these Channel islands are more trouble than they're worth.

Gove has said England can shell Paris from Jersey.

Bojo thinks he is Palmerston (those with O level history may recall the Don Pacifico affair where Lord P sent a gunboat into - I think - Athens in repsonse to a British Citizen)

Aye France can have them and force them to make their residents to pay high taxes to make up for lost time

Slightly relevant. When the Falklands war was on I went into a pub in Winchester. The pub was naval themed & the landlord was ex navy wearing his navy themed blazer & tie with medal ribbons & all. There was a telly in the bar & it was announced they got the Sheffield. “Oh no” said the landlord “the bastards have got the Sheffield”. With that he hit the rum & got so totally pissed he flaked out over the bar..

Re-unite the Duchy of Normandy and have it as a thorn in the side of the central French state like the good old days.
