Rule Britannia, Britannia waves the rules

One of my favourite ships I served in.

The Fishery Protection Squadron does this day in day out 365 days a year anyway. It's absolutely nothing new.
And I speak as someone who served in HMS Tyne and HMS Mersey. They board, check and if necessary arrest transgressors. (Spent a week alongside in Lowestoft after arresting a Dutch trawler. Took ages to do the paper work and Lowestoft isn't the most throbbing Hotspot of fun you can imagine )
We've escorted Spanish and French trawlers out of our waters on countless occasions... They're regularly to be found down off Cornish waters.
Don't really understand why the papers are whipping up the "Gunboat" "headlines.

Thanks for this really refreshing to read an informative post without the hysterical blaming the PM for everything
