Fair play. Threaten all you like. Fortunately, Germany doesn't get its power from the UK. And your 12NM territorial water zone is about 480 kilometres shy of reaching even near the Elbe river. So I'm afraid I'm very puzzled as to how you'd like to blockade the river, let alone travel upriver about 90 kilometres inland to block the harbor.
Feel free to try, though. Hamburg is used to tourists. You can step off and visit the Reeperbahn, leave some of your money there. Oh wait, you can't... you don't have a visa. Oh crap, that means your blockade really is going to end up in you having to go back after a day or so because your little fishing vessels don't have enough supplies to last the weeklong trip, let alone for a blockade. Btw, how do you intend to blockade a 210,890 GT ship with your little three man fisherboat? Make sure you got a megaphone so they can hear you scream for them to avoid you. Oh and pray that the half kilometer turn radios is fast enough to avoid just running you over without even a scratch on their paint.
My, my, you really didn't think this through, did you?
Come on, threaten us... go nuts. Mr. Dribbles is declaring war on GERMANY. Oh noes! Whatever shall we do. A mad Brexiteer is threatening Germany with invasion! Oh the horror, we are trembling at the mere thought of it!

What i support is irrelevant, what is relevant even comical is a region in the UK trying to start a conflict with a nation they are heavily dependant on their good will.
I find it even more amusing when we are talking about what they are bartering for and risk losing, you may be very glad that those in power in France aren't mirror attitudes and behaviour of those in Britain or else one of your regions would have to fall back on alternatives for power.

Oh it's an independent region? Didn't know that considering the UK send vessels there.

this is the kind of stuff they are up to (still today) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIMACO
its a pay to play money laundering service, and if any journalist goes to ask questions they get intimated and shut down by the local clans.
I think Roman Abramovich has residency there. Its all sorts of corrupt.
also remember they collaborated with the nazis.

yea it was a tax dodge that crippled local music shops. i think it was called CDWOW or something, they would ship stuff to jersey and then onto the UK to avoid tax and could out compete any of the local shops.

heres a good story on it
Hell yeah, it was CDWOW, I remember that! We thought they did that to avoid copyright trials. Cos honestly, those weren't original CDs, they just burned CDs illegally. And apparently nobody on Jersey gave a fuck about copyright. They used to have these silly leaflet catalogues, small booklets with the thinnest paper you could produce.

Ah, the benefits of Brexit. See, no other countries would import spirits that are literally grown with nuclear apples. And yet, here we are... the UK "free of its shackles" can't wait to do the next stupid thing and import radiation liquor, now that the EU can't tell them to stop doing stupid things... Even the Ukrainians are embarassed and have confiscated the shipment.

At least, a brexit benefit, we have quality assurance on the people, having taken back control of our borders, coming into the UK now. Begs the question why are eurochums who must be so desperate forced to these extreme measures if life in the EU is so good?

How sad
13/11/2022 Sir Keir Starmer. "Brexit is safe in my hands, Let me be really clear about Brexit. There is no case for going back into the EU and no case for going into the single market or customs union. Freedom of movement is over"
Still no actual benefits then dribbles? All you can manage is a story about a problem existing in the EU?
I thought by now we'd have Brexit benefits popping up all around us. Yet despite repeated requests you come up with sweet fuck all. Not a single thing. It's almost like the benefits haven't materialised. Even the soundbites you use on your throwaway alts are just about how Brexit is wonderful, with no detail.
Put up or shut up dribbles. Show us what Brexit has actually given us; tangible benefits, not flouncy comments about "taking back control of borders" and shit like that. Actual benefits. Concrete things you can point to and say "look, that's clearly better".
But you can't, and you won't. Because Brexit at best has been neutral in some small areas, and fucking terrible in most of them. But you'd never admit that because I bet you've never admitted you were wrong in your entire life. People like you never do.
The Covid smokescreen will clear soon enough. And plenty of people will come to the realisation that Brexit has done fuck all for them. Who will you blame then? The people still in this country that aren't the same colour as you? The gays? Which group are you going after next to distract people from the fact you've made their lives worse?
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Tell you what, you go low I'll go high, of the 700 plus MEP's how is the ethnic diversity in their make up? Would you say its representative of the EU population? Compare that with the percentage mix and fairness of the UK parliament I dare you. Every EU country is represented by a commissioner, a picture of the commission follows, notice anything missing? Why do the EU parliament and commission, hundreds of governors across the EU, appear so Afrophobic?
If Brexit was about racism then it removed the UK from the governance of supposedly superior white europeans at the top of the EU political tree and began treating all the people of the world equal, blind of colour prejudice, in the absolute. A more inclusive multicultural society outside of the UK in Europe you will not find. It is a model of harmony for the rest of the continent.
That's a major brexit benefit right there and thank you for shining a light on it, got any more for me? Im sure in every paragraph you type at least one can be found...
