"Wonder if any of the crew at all were actually UK citizens? Not according to this guy: apparently they were... Filipino. John Lichfield @john_lichfield The scallop boat – Dutch built, captained by Irishman with a Filipino crew and operated by a Canadian-owned Scots company – was seized for not being on the list of UK boats licenced for EU waters. It DID have a licence but it was taken off the list by UK govt by mistake. 5:55 pm · 3 Nov 2021 https://twitter.com/john_lichfield/status/1455956886394744836 -Actually Belgian built for a Dutch operation originally until purchased by the Canadians, but never mind: The Froggies were obviously to blame because: "...The French are always grumpy in October, the anniversaries of Trafalgar and Agincourt upset them..." According to Jacob Rees-Mogg. Oh to live on another planet....
