Express.co.uk has learned a pair of Royal Navy ships are on "high availability" - although there are no immediate plans to deploy them. But the Prime Minister ordered two Royal Navy ships to be ready, when it was reported that France had seized the UK fishing boat. this was a terrifying move from Macron and it made Boris "furious" to want to immediately punish France.
Lord Frost on Thursday spoke of his concerns about "France's plans for fisheries and beyond", suggesting he would have "much to say" on the subject. Mr. Frost thinks that this move by France may be a good step forward, because we have a reasonable reason to remove all French fishing permits.

French ministers have warned they will block British ships from some French ports and tighten checks on ships traveling between France and Britain if the issue is not resolved by Tuesday - as well as threatening supply power supply to the Channel Islands.

The British were in no hurry, Boris and Lord Frost were probably planning a careful plan to get rid of the French ships in a sensible way.
Macron may be slapping his chest because he thought he had won when he caught the British fishing boat, but who would have thought he would be the pitiful loser in the end, the future of French fishermen's fishing is in jeopardy. Macron threw it in the trash.
