Britain and EU could be set for crab wars as relations over fisheries becomes ‘toxic’

CRAB wars could break out between British and EU boats as relations nosedive into a “toxic” decade.

It comes after sabre-rattling Paris threatened to shut off power and slap tariffs on our exports in a row over licences. The Elysee was outraged Britain and Jersey turned down access to the majority of French boats that applied.

It ain’t Butlins.’ Rex Trips to Elland Road are a far cry from the old days of terror[/caption] The ominous post from an old streetwise fellow Hammer was a warning to expect an extremely hostile reception – that Leeds is a tough place to visit.

They were dirty, they were arrogant, they were noisy – and they were good for a spell. A successful Millwall. Rival supporters at certain clubs still sing about how they hate Leeds to either the Dambusters theme or ‘Tom Hark’ by ska influenced middle-of-the-roaders The Piranhas.
