At least Putin said the other day, that if he would see a French army turn up in Ukraine, then they will deal with it. But he wont even consider it an issue at this point. The chances of seeing a French army turn up is almost zero......
Fury as French officials 'remove' Britain's Union Jack from display of hundreds of flags to mark D-Day in Normandy town......
Britons have reacted with fury after the Union Jack appeared to have been removed by French officials celebrating the anniversary of D-Day in a French town in Normandy.
Pictures from previous years show flag bunting depicting all the nations involved in the Allied resistance to the Nazis adorning the streets of the charming town of Carentan.
But images from this year show new bunting that appears to showcase the flags of all EU member states, the EU flag itself, as well as Canada and the US - but no British flag.
Due to its proximity to the French coastline, Carentan was a vital town for the Allies to capture during the D-Day operation, which saw tens of thousands of soldiers land on French shores in the biggest military operation of its kind.
Around 10,000 allied soldiers were killed in the operation, including thousands of troops from the UK and US.

As a result of their upset over Brexit they have removed the Union Jack from display for the June 6th Anniversary...  Carole Zarb, 54, of the town’s tourism board, said: “The town hall is behind this.
“We think it is because of Brexit. We are not behind their decision.”
Meanwhile, somewhere in England....  The Yorkshire Air Museum has marked the 80th anniversary of two French bomber squadrons who were stationed at RAF Elvington for almost two years in 1944.
During World War Two, the museum site, near York, was an RAF base staffed entirely by foreign personnel.
The two French squadrons, No 346 (Guyenne) and No 347 (Tunisie), played a major part in the bombing offensive against Germany.
On Thursday, the French flag was raised at the former airbase to honour the 2,500 French aircrew who had been stationed there.

Were the French even in the war? Yes. Their women , at enormous sacrifice, shagged as many Germans that it took to weaken them enough so that the allies won the war … They did the same thing to the yanks but that was just for bubble gum and stockings . |

France punishing British democracy by ignoring the British efforts that saved them from Nazism, which they surrendered to. Historically France has always been a horrible lot to us. I bet Macron has a little room he visits full of Nazi flags. He seems like the type.

I read a few weeks that some British soldiers were refused a cup of tea at a French cafe in Normandy. About twenty five years ago we carried out a driving holiday around the battlefields and war cemeteries in the Somme area, the WGC cemeteries were very well kept and most calm and impressive places. The WGC Cross of Sacrifice displayed at each cemetery was made from some sort of composite material because the original bronze items were being -stolen by the French for their scrap value.

If the intention is to annoy the British after they gave so many lives to free France they are successful. Many people around the world see this and will think twice before helping them again......I'm just surprised they haven't got the rainbow flags flying aswell. To think what 'our boys' and many other countries' 'boys' did for France they really should hang their heads in shame......Funny they didn’t think that when we rescued them during the two world wars. In future we need to remember the French don’t deserve any assistance for anything. They aren’t grateful just entitled.....Instead of teaching our children about pronoun identity and gender realignment, we should teach our children at school about the sacrifices past souls gave for their freedom.

Before the old man died he wanted to visit some of the places he was sent in WW2 he visited a cafe in Normandy where he was billeted, the same people's grandchildren still ran it, they fetched their parents and grandparents who still remembered him, they couldn't do enough for him. Just one of the better stories the French youth would have no recollection or any reason to give a rat's arse.

I guess the story drags attention away from failings — such as polluted lakes, rivers and water supplies — in the UK today, and helps move commentators away from such topics as UK homeless figures being the highest in the developed world, cost of food and energy, etc, etc, etc… www.ft.com/content/24117a03-37c2-424a-97ed-6a5292f9e92e |
