I was responding to complaints from other boaters. One person had a bottle of Talisker broken by the size of the wash  whistle:

Suspend their licence?  whistle:

Seriously, they were drunken and abusive arseholes. There were radio and phone reports all afternoon. One has to call time sometimes.

What happens if they ignore that and just keep boating?

Licence suspended and no more boating. Probation. Licence returned. Another report? Licence withdrawn. No boating.

I estimate boat value at about £30K. Can't use it for a year but still pay mooring fees? They were a nasty lot.
