Re: Zut Alors ! We Love You Too.
We who live in New Zealand ,have memories of the French way of doing thing's, re the Rainbow Warrior carry on, they lied and denied their way through it ,any where else it would been a act of war ,i still cannot believe that they got away with a slap on the hand,and that the rest of the world just put their hand over there eye's .My old mum hated the French, and all way's said never trust them ,they been at it since the Roman's left .A thousand year's of defending our country ,then we dig them a tunnel to come through, and give them control of it.I still have family that live in Kent so they see what the open boarders can do to a country ,and on a trip back a couple of year's ago ,i was shocked at what i saw in the likes of Margate , as a child was a old playground mine !

John while I agree with your sentiment in this, something about the devil you know comes to mind! Who knows who or what will replace them?

Re: Zut Alors ! We Love You Too.
Following on from all the recent atrocities in the Republic :
This morning,French President Monsewer François Hollande ,or is it Monsewer Français Netherlande,I get names mixed up, has peeked out from behind European Queen Angela of Prussia's skirts, and declared (in French of course,because the French don't or can't speak English) that : " France WILL defeat Terrorism" !
So that is very reassuring n'est-ce pas,mon amis ?. So expect the borders,especially those in Mediterranean ports to be closed this summer.Actually there will be no noticeable change there as French ports seem to be shut down anyway in summer due to strike or go-slow action. Any potential swarthy-skinned Arab spouting 'gentlemen' will have to make sure their backstrap timing devices are on a long timer-a very long one.
Not that I'm having a dig at the French you understand- at one time I used to have such a crush on Brigitte Bardot-or was it Sacha Distel .N'importe ! La vie est bien confuseé......

Nothing confusing there Gulliver, the French are very French and the British very great.

Re: Zut Alors ! We Love You Too.
A letter was published in the Sunday paper and I thought some of you, including my good friend Gulliver, would be interested.
'I keep reading of Britain's influence in the world as a result of Britex will decrease, but that is not what I have seen on my recent travels through Europe, Britain is filling many pages of political and economic media across the globe. In Europe it has set an example and is being seen as an inspiration by a significant portion of the people.
Whether you agree with the Britex vote or not there is no doubt this decision means Britain has stepped out from the crowd.
In the past Briton's have often trod a different path to the rest of Europe and humanity has benefited. immensely from it. Once again Britain has dared to be different
Once again Britain is making history while the rest of the world looks on.
Far from reducing it's influence Britex has reminded the world that Britain still matters , and it matters not because of the size of it's economy but because it's decision make sit stand out.
Brexit has shown the world that Britain is still brave enough to be a leader and there can be no greater influence than leadership"
This from an Aussie who has visited bit UK and Europe over the last year. Fair praise indeed of a nation not afraid to go alone.
