Named after former Prime Minister Margaret Tatcher, the Lady T is detained in Boulogne-Sur-Mer.
Failing British Prime Minister is under fire for his ‘Brexit Reset’ deal with the European Union, in which he basically sold out his Fishing Industries by allowing EU boats unfettered access to the UK’s waters for the next 12 years.
The situation became even more volatile after a British trawler was held in French custody yesterday (24) after it was allegedly caught operating without a license in the English Channel.
Daily Mail reported:
“The Lady T, which is based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, was being held in Boulogne-Sur-Mer on Saturday and now risks being confiscated. She was caught by the Pluvier, a French Navy ship, on Thursday, and the catamaran’s skipper now faces prosecution for fishing for whelks without a license.”
This comes days after Starmer closed a deal with the EU on fishing rights which is seen as hugely favoring the French.
The French Navy’s ‘public service patrol vessel’, the Pluvier, was inspecting in the French Exclusive Economic Zone.
French Maritime Authority spokesman: “’During this operation, which was part of the State’s maritime enforcement, a British fishing vessel was inspected by sailors from the Navy patrol vessel while fishing without a license in French waters.
‘As the offence was proved, the fishing vessel was diverted during the night of May 23rd to the port of Boulogne-Sur-Mer, following the instructions of the Delegate for the Sea and Coastline, acting on behalf of the Regional Prefect, who oversees the fisheries police, for the purpose of initiating prosecution under the authority of the Public Prosecutor.’”

His 32ft long Lady T. is now forbidden to leave the port until further notice.
“One skipper, based in Dover, described the action as ‘outrageous’. He told GB News: ‘It is so typical of the French. They should be totally focused on trying to prevent the daily illegal incursions by migrants into the Channel. And the only actual enforcement work they’re doing is targeting British fisherman’.
[…] Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the 12-year deal on access for European boats ‘will be the end of the [British] fishing industry’.”
Labour have well and truly sold out our fishing industry, all in the name of closer ties to an ever-diminishing political union.https://t.co/qxStDT803S
