    Funnily France will probably be the loudest opponent to giving Iceland this concession.

    Realistically though this is the best opportunity for Iceland to try and get this concession, since Europe needs allies and the UK isn’t there to throw a spanner in the works.

    The Brits are probably still a bit salty about losing from Iceland in the Cod Wars three times over.
