France threatens to cut power to Jersey amid fishing row

I care about Jersey. Living in the South West we almost regard the Channel Islands as our neighbouring counties.
It is highly unlikely that France will do this. I think Girardin was having a hissy fit.
Anyway if it came to it there is on island generation enough to ensure sufficient emergency supply. One of our sons is a geologist in the area and works with EDF on projects. There are always back up alternatives in place.

It’s not part of the UK which is what I posted. I’ve always regarded the CI as a bunch of free loaders

Jersey is a part of the British Isles.

suziewoozie I’m going to rise above your comment. Let’s hope others just ignore you.

Btw why care about Jersey ? It’s not part of the UK and was for most purposes outside the EU - but you all knew that didn’t you? Let them fight their own battles

Media storm- it'll all be over in a few hours...

Is anyone surprised?
They are spitting nails that we didn’t crumble because of brexit and then came our stupendous success with the vaccine rollout.
Little Napoleon must be apoplectic ?

But they won’t do it will they?

Won’t they? I bet they do for a few hours at least...

Poor old Jersey. We lived there for several years and I had two of my three there.
It is a disgrace! Shows how much the French resent us - the old enemy? The Jersey islanders are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They are not part of the UK as HM is only Duke of Normandy there. None of the UK laws are in use there.

But they won’t do it will they?

Ridiculous isn't it.
