Residents in Jersey voiced their reactions to the UK-France dispute over fishing rights in the UK crown dependency’s waters.

"I understand why the military came and why they had to come but I've been reading a lot of media coverage about it, and it’s all very dramatic," said Chloe adding that the military reaction was "a little over the top".

Tensions flared as military vessels from the UK and France responded to a flotilla of 100 French boats attempting to blockade the harbour in protest against post-Brexit fishing rights.
