Britain readies navy to protect fishing waters in case of no-deal Brexit
Four Royal Navy patrol ships will be ready on January 1 to help protect Britain's fishing waters in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the country's Ministry of Defence said. Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood described the threat of using Royal Navy gunboats as "irresponsible". Earlier, PM Boris Johnson and the European Union said a no-deal outcome looked very likely.
