It has been reported by the French Foreign Minister that last weekends attempted invasion by a large number of “Roast Biffs” was repelled.
In a statement issued by the French Foreign Ministry quote,
A large armada of small British ships was seen to enter Cherbourg Harbour last weekend; local restaurateurs, police and the National Guard were put on high alert. Known sailing/fashion terrorists were seen amongst the crews, in particular the French Police were interested in trying to identify the ringleaders. It did not go un-noticed that a large proportion of the vessels fragrantly breeched flag etiquette by flying reds and defaced blues, whereas not a single EU daisy chain flag was seen.
A report has been sent to the British Foreign Minister, but as of yet, this has not been answered as the minister in question is out on a works beano to Brighton.
When Jack Straw was asked by Jeremy Paxman to comment on this incident he said that the Government took these incidents very seriously and would immediately appoint a government quango to investigate it, speak with Gordon Brown to see if there was anyway it could be taxed and also ask HM C & E if VAT could be added. He also added that anyone that owned a boat should be considered as a rich boat owner and as such; expect to pay through the nose for the privilege of invading our EU neighbours.
Paxman then pressed him on Government policy towards (rich) boat owners and he revelled that the government was seriously considering a similar system to that which will apply to car drivers i.e. a GPS tracking system will be used to alert the authorities to the whereabouts of any given vessel and a mileage charge will apply and that although the charge has not yet been set, he would expect it to be between 10p and £1.20 / nm, but he will wait for the Quango (made up of left wing/non boat owning townies) to decide the best solution.
He also added that the same quango was looking into the whole question of British Citizens leisure time as this was considered by the current government to be surplus to requirements. The main aim of the government was to achieve a situation where British Citizens worked 7 days a week (with a 6 hour/day break for sleeping) gave all their earnings to the treasury and then the treasury would by a means tested formula give back some hard earned cash to allow subsistence living. Activities such as Fishing, hunting, playing sport, boat owning, watching TV (unless political content) were deemed frivolous.
