Napoleon!!

Just leave!

That what they are stalling for .

That will be a first

Only one skipper says he won't break the law, what about the rest. For sure they will not stand up and say I am going to break the law, they will just go ahead and do it.

The French won't break the law. Hehehe! You believe the froggies if you like.

What a load of bollocks..... they will still be in our waters unless we grow some ball and force them back !!

Take aim bang!

Same reason the UK, Holland, Norway and Iceland cannot. The young people not interested, want to be home in bed every night.

This shudnt even go to court absolute madness attorney general shud dismiss this imedietly, if manx radio want to report such nonsense present the finer details so all can see how stupid this is , complete waste of resources

Are they any different than the Dutch, Spanish and Icelandic using the UK as a flag of convenience ?

Frank Pook A bit different in that the UK is one of the highest ranking flags on the white list , amongst other things vessel maintenance, ownership , class , crew, is taken very seriously. From some of the less scrupulous grey and black listed flags like say Togo, vessel condition is taken at a lower stance allowing lesser rated class societies, ownership is often not fully checked and crew certificates can be obtained far easier

Scary but brilliant

You’d have nightmares for life 😳😳😳
