Grown men fighting over fish

I don't profess to be knowledgeable about the intricacies of fishing rights but it strikes me that the current fight going on between the French and the British, and thus between President Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson, has all gone out of control and is about as dignified as two alleycats scrapping in the back yard. Surely grown men can sort this out without ruining relations between France and Britain and turning the whole thing into an embarrassing farce. Somehow French and British fishermen have to get their fair share of the catches without becoming immersed in political wranglings. I fear that behind the bravado talk by Macron what he is really wanting is to punish Britain for daring to leave the European Union and that he is not interested in making compromise deals with the Brits. If that's the case then relations between Paris and London will be skewered for a long time. This is madness. La demence!
