And even while our soldiers were fighting to free France from the Nazi jackboot, de Gaulle was contemplating the day when he would join forces with Germany to defeat the "Anglo-Saxons".<br /><br />Yes, ranter - I think our government carries a heavy responsibility for failing to insist that our Head of State attend the Normnady events - but what do you expect from a bunch of Marxist republican wannabees?<br /><br />I'd like to think we wouldn't have been as co-operative as the French if the Nazis had successfully invaded England - but I don't know. Thank God we never had to find out! The nearest we got to it was the occupation of the Channel Islands where there was little collaboration, but also little resistance either - even when they did start deporting the CI Jews.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-10051539269020121762009-05-30T08:47:39.039+01:002009-05-30T08:47:39.039+01:00Trains packed with Jewish people .. not bloody lik...Trains packed with Jewish people .. not bloody likely.

Mr U-Turn had previously decided not to officially support the anniversary so no official invites went out. A bit of pressure from the press and the realization he was, yet again, going to look a complete arse and the rest is history.<br />Spot on about France and the French though - lovely people and a beautiful place - except Paris which outside of the touristy bits is a shithole made up of a series of racial ghettoes - a bit like Londonistan.<br />I wonder how most of the British would have coped and reacted under Nazi rule? I'm sure the trains would have been packed with Jewish people and children aren't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-27150035596522626252009-05-29T17:46:08.872+01:002009-05-29T17:46:08.872+01:00I expect their "political classes" are much the sa...I expect their "political classes" are much the same as ours. <br /><br />Totally out of touch with what real people think!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165615283953837706noreply@blogger.com
