EU Referendum

[Tommok]

Always a jolly good diversion from problems at home is a war. 

Johnson is probably quite glad to be able to divert attention away from the hot water he's currently in with his dodgy expenses to the colder waters around the Channel Islands. 

Of course, the fact that this whole fishing s***storm has come about as a direct result of the clusterf*** that is Brexit will be glossed over by many. 

Rule Britannia!

I just checked the map. That's mental, how have the French not nabbed them already?

[pipnasty]

I don't think it has always been that close

Very interesting. It may be that there is sufficient interest in this issue that a smaller forum group is formed to analyse it, outside of the main meeting, and report back. Look at some maps of varying ages, that sort of thing.

Yeah, I'm up for this. It could happen to other Islands, so I think it is important.

The Isle of Dogs is much closer to Canary Wharf now than it used to be. In fact according to London Estate Agents, it is "Canary Wharf" now

From a plate tectonics perspective it makes no sense. Unless the vulcanoligists are in on it.
