EU watch

Who wins a punch-up between the Brit and French navies?

Right at this moment? The RN, because we have a fully working carrier strike group forming up (for Ex Joint Warrior off Scotland, and then off to the Pacific) that happens to be the right place, and they don't.

Top trumps style? Closely matched overall, but different in different areas - the MN are better in the surface to surface role (sinking other ships), but our subs are better and our ASW is better, the French carrier, if it's not in refit, can take more aircraft than ours (at the moment), but they've only got one carrier, we've got two (both at sea right now).

Pay your money and you takes your choice.

Couldn't they just blast us to pieces from land forces seeing as they're so close?
 
spitfire, not bollocks it seems.

David Sellam, head of the joint Normany-Brittany sea authority, said : “We are confronted by people who are not trustworthy. Jersey has been taken over by an extremist fringe, who want to reduce French fishing access and profit from Brexit.

“We’re ready for war. We can bring Jersey to its knees if necessary.”

:facepalm: :D

Probably, but we have stealthy strike fighters, which they can't detect, or defend against. Rather like in 1940, there's no real way to defend the CI's against a continental power than holds Normandy - but its a wider game, because in all wars it's not just what you can do, it's what an enemy can do to you, and what price you're prepared to risk, and pay, in return for this or that objective.

Such 'what it's?' are, imv, interesting philosophical conversations because they force you to think hard about your values in 'dirt form', what are you prepared to lose - or not lose - in order to keep or get X or Y.
 
It's getting out of control, Poundland has launched an attack on the Daily Mail.

Retailer Poundland has hit back at columnist Daniel Hannan after the Daily Mail labelled French President Emmanuel Macron a 'Poundland Putin'.

The high street retailer tweeted 'un message pour' Lord Hannan, saying he "should know better than "using the Poundland name "pejoratively".

Sending "love and kisses", Poundland said: "Monsieur Hannan, while I'm sure you think its tres amusant to describe the French President as a 'Poundland Putin' in this morning's Daily Mail, I have to tell you that our 18,000 colleague are probably choking on our croissants this morning.

 
They've shat it and gone back to France
