There's very little difference between Telegraph/GB News/Times opinion section these days. The latter tends to be a bit more polished than the former but it's all delusional bollocks.
Earlier retirement, better pension. Cheese, wine. French men, clean beaches, sewage free water, better protests, a government that listens … let’s do French.
And that would be such a bad idea wouldn’t it! Just spent another week in France. Infrastructure, roads, rail all suburb, new and clean. No litter along the roads, light traffic. Supermarkets full of fresh fruit and veg, wine at half the price back home. What’s not to like?
I’m English living in France, trust me I can get a MRI in a week and the results the same day…. I pay, that’s true, it’s 25€, which is 80% reimbursed… I small price to pay. Oh and I can drive to places and park for free. When I go to the supermarket it takes 7 mins by car and I never have a delay 🤓
Hmm, so turning us into a nation that creates excellent food, is the most popular tourist destination and has zero tolerance for abuses of power by the rich elites.
It's obviously nonsense because it's in that RW comic, but I don't understand why it would be a bad thing!
They don’t realise that a lot of us don’t have the xenophobic hatred of the french they do. We may joke about it occasionally but that’s not how we actually feel. It’s like how British people will jokingly insult their friends.
The Normans were not Norwegian. Their leader's great great grandfather was, but the rest of the fighting force was drawn from all over Northern France and what is now Belgium.
In 1066, during the Norman Conquest, William was written and spoken as Guillaume in Norman French. This is the name that William the Conqueror (Guillaume le Conquérant) would have used.
That’s Gallic French not Norman French. How is his name spelt on the Bayeux Tapestry? Norman French had W in place of G. That’s why we have ‘war’ and ‘Wales’ not ‘guerre’ and ‘Pays de Galles’
Only the rich. It's why we have the French words for the meat of an animal and saxon for the beast itself . Only the rich ate the meat. We never recovered from the Norman conquest.
That song, 'Britons never never never shall be slaves' should be updated to 'always always always shall be slaves'.
I’m not sure that one’s sex and skin pigmentation or indeed his sartorial selection of pants correlates with being a bad person.
I rather suspect being a 16 stone sos is the problem the other bits are in no way related.
It’s that last (sos) bit I would be concerned with
Turning us Ukrainian is more apt. I mean, £billions more spent on Ukraine than clawed back from pip, where Starmer, Reeves and Kendall kick the walking sticks away from the disabled.
If the Russians get there way on Ukraine you can look forward to the whole of Europe following. We’re part of Europe and already know that the Channel is no barrier or protection.

I can see why a current affairs entertainer might not like this.
(And wine, obvs.... And wine whilst travelling on the high speed rail network)

I dunno. Sounds alright.
If you know you know but I suspect only @bernarddugdale.bsky.social will 😜
The Norman's were the descendants of Rollo (Rollon in French). He was a Norseman, hence the name.
Later, the 3 lions represented King of England, Duke of Normandy, and Duke of Aquitaine, all being Richard I.

Isn't most French stuff better?

Long time no see. How are you doing?
Not all is good in France, but there is plenty to emulate.
Anyway, bring it on.
