No need, Johnson got his retaliation in first by ensuring that the happier British fish are swimming in polluted waters

All the French need to do is to prevent UK /Jersey/Guernsey fishing boats landing their catch at French ports and to enforce the legal Customs checks at ports....
Mind you it's handy for the government to keep stirring the jingoism and nationalistic anti Europe message or else we might start looking at how crap Brexit is.

The most curious thing..
Not much point given it hasn't got its planes.
A very expensive and large piece of scrap metal.
and presumably the French would respond with this...
Slightly older I grant you but it does have the advantage of ..........er..........fighter planes (paid for and ready for action)

That would be spectacularly stupid of them, given Jersey's within range of land based aircraft based in both France and the UK.
The sort of blind stupidity that I wouldn't put past either government frankly.
Indeed - and as you say unfortunately we've got two spectacularly stupid and jingoistic governments in power in our respective countries at the moment so anything's possible.
Can we not just give Johnson and Macron a pedalo and a big pointy stick each and let them get on with it?
Oven ready fish meal deal?

I mean, I'd like to think somebody in the respective navies would point out that sending an aircraft carrier to an island about 100miles away would be pointless and stupid.
There's always a small part of me that'd like to use these arguments as justification for finally defeating the French once and for all. We pay all this money for Trident and won't even use it to wipe France off the map*. What's the point?
*not seriously suggesting incinerating 50m French people over a few fishing boats

Looks like HMS Vigil sneaking up behind the French. That'll teach them!

You are going to look very silly when Boris gives his next Press Conference.
I am, err, pleased to announce that I, er, sent the honourable Secretary for, erm, Defence off to The Entertainer (Great bunch of British lads) and he has procured a contract for £1b for 1000 planes which also camouflage in the desert. We have also stocked up on Elastic Bands from the soon Lord Theo Paphitis.

Do people actually get a kick out of spreading bullshit!
