  How is protecting your borders petty? The UK decided to leave the EU, this seems like an entirely expected consequence.

    In that case aren't the Jersey authorities also protecting their borders?

    The British asked 17(!) ships for evidence they fished in British waters over the last five years, and the french have responded by threatening to deprive the islands of electricity while french vessels are blockading. If that’s not petty, I don’t know what is.

  It's pettiness on both sides. The sort of thing we used to solve around a table in Bruxelles, now we have to send in naval ships. Naval ships, btw, that are often joint-built with them so we can actually afford them, with all that it entails...
