Their video showed boats banging hulls and at least one firework rocket being launched. A British trade group, the South Western Fish Producers Organization, accused French fishermen of putting lives at risk. “The French might look like heroes to the French coastal communities but it’s really awful to put other mariners in danger,” said its chief executive, Jim Portus. He said a window was smashed on one British boat and that another...
