EU watch

[bimble]

Interesting that you've not thought to comment on the threat to blockade a states power supply, or the physical, actual blockade of its food supply...

Haven't been following any of it tbh up until i saw Boris Sends Gunboats today. Who is blockading people's physical actual food supply these French fishermen?

 

[kebabking]

The power thing sounds like loose lipped threats by one bureaucrat

This is so funny

Oh it is, it's some minor official, probably without the power to scratch his own arse, half-cut and mired in sleeze who's shot his mouth off, while the actual French government is working like mad to make all this rubbish go away - but this is France sir, and war with France, particularly at sea, is the natural state of any right thinking Englishman!

IIRC it was a female bureaucrat who said it so its her arse

I think "gunboat" and "Boris" are probably both on the list of "Top Ten words that give Express readers stiffies."

Our record on fighting wars over fishing rights is not an impressive one

Against Vikings perhaps, but our record against the French is unmatched.

Sad, we elect those as PM here.

at some point someone will mention us saving them from the Nazis.

Seeing as today's handbags with France features the Channel Islands I think the UK will be quiet about the saving from the Nazi thing on this one.

 

[Athos]

Are you sure that isn't Urban's very own Athos, planning to bore them into submission with ever more tedious legalistic nonsense?

I don't think much of their chances of resisting if so...

Aren't they all owned by tax exiles?

Except the Guardian, which is owned by a pair of Birkenstock sandals.

Isn't every resident there a tax exile?

Let the tax averse weirdos sort their own mess out.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

No, most residents are natives, so are not exiled from anywhere.

The Royal Jersey Militia swear loyalty to HMQ as Duke of Normandy - I'm given to understand there are one or two other issues outstanding between the Duke of Normandy and the - so called - 'French Government'...

For God and Gascony!

 

[bimble]

Did the Royal Jersey Militia really wear luminious fluorescent yellow or is that gentleman with the musket just doing his entirely own thing.

 

[kebabking]

Most Frenchists on the way.

This one is unarmed, so, you know - saves time I suppose...

He's a reanactor, so doing his own thing (the sin of Onan) is probably part of his day-to-day activities...

Top tip for French commanders: Add more blue to the tricolour so the British will think they have encountered their feared Icelandic adversaries.

Good. Let them sort it out then.
