Franglais:
C.F. and Cav,
Sure more integration of armies means less chance of inter European aggression, but more. Yorkshire is less likely to invade Lancashire because they share a common UK army, not 2 separate ones. Same with Countries as counties.
Ah…but as a County Palatine Lancashire has the historical right to raise its own army if it wants to, so we might invade Yorkshire if we decide to.
Just to get the facts right.The war of the roses was a power struggle between two opposing sides of the Plantagenet dynasty.Who were …Frogs not English.Most/all of them didn’t even speak English.Just like the 100 years war was another case of naive Brits pressed into service to fight an inter French war on the laughable basis that they were fighting for ‘England’.
No doubt to which Franglais’ bs script is that the invaders who took out around 600 years of English civilisation and culture and nationhood,in addition to the rest of the nations which made up the British Isles.Actually came in peace to civilise the country.Yeah right.
Just to get the facts right, frogs are a carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians, which fits in quite well with your theories about, well, just about anything really.
I’ve no idea what language they speak.

Yes and Rosbif generally means something you eat with horseradish and yorkshire pudding.Does any of that make the Plantagenet tossers,who succeeded ‘The Conqueror’ and who took over the country after 1066,any less French.No.

The “Plantagenant tossers” from then, have all been dead and buried for centuries!
History may be interesting, our roots and heritage are equally interesting, but viewing our FUTURE through the wrong end of thousand year old telescope, is sheer folly.
So Boris will be the new PM , Jeremy isn’t happy because only a small percentage of our population got to vote i.e the fully paid up Tory membership, who obviously would be the only ones eligible seeing as its their club.The EU have already said there are no more deals to be had .MPs have said they will block a no deal so nothings changed , we had a referendum the leavers won by a majority vote the remainers don’t like it and the EU dont like it so they are going to sabbotage everything Boris tries. Scotland want independence (please god give 'em it we get shut of Ma Kranky then) but if they get it they will be isolated because the EU wont want them because there’s nothing in it for the Eu .So same ■■■■ different day

Not when that ‘history’ is all part of the same 1,000 year European invasive Reich and end game.Telling us that our Anglo Saxon heritage is invalid and wrong.Including laughably trying to blame the takeover of the other Nations which made up the British Isles,on ‘the English’ all obviously being part of that.
On that note you’ll find a direct lineage from the present Queen back to ‘the Conqueror’ via the Plantagenets.You know the same Queen who signed us up to the European Communities Act.End game indeed.

Don’t remember any similar issues about May taking over after Cameron walked away.As for the population since when do the population ever have a vote over the choice of PM.
Saw the news of Boris’ elevation on French TV in a routier this morning near Bellac.
The headline was ‘Le Trump’ becomes British prime minister.
Reckon Dexxy has a point. First trip to Washington?
2 Yanks running both countries? Nah, one country with 51 States.
BTW Whispering, you’ve proper cocked up this thread.
Hopefully some clever person will be along soon to rectify it.

Thought it was something I did to my laptop. Reassuring that it’s cocked up for everyone.
‘Le Trump’ is a good name for him. The sad thing is, countries around the world with less knowledge of the UK’s political set up will think the British people actually elected him. Very embarrassing for the UK, very entertaining for every other country.

A few weeks ago I explained to some drivers over dinner that only party members get a vote etc etc.
They were incredulous and weren’t impressed with our system.
Maybe “Ie Tromper” would be more apt as a name?

Yep ‘Hands Up’ I did - but I went back & sorted it - now needs CF to do the same
Don’t worry, C.F. doesn’t need much excuse to rewrite history!
Pre mod won’t allow any previous offending posts to be edited.
As for the idea that it was the Anglo Saxons wot stitched up the Cornish Celts with a bit of help from the usual German trouble making suspects.No that was definitely the ongoing post 1066 French imposed dynasty in the form of Edward VI.Nothing whatsoever to do with the Anglo Saxon England which was effectively taken out from that point.

Just a wild wacky idea . . but . . why not stop offending? It’ll change the habits of a lifetime, for sure, but it’ll get our thread on an even keel again.
Ray Smyth:
Boris Thatcher, our new Prime Minister.
Mrs T had a list of targets (like or loathe them) and a plan to achieve them.
Johnson too, has a list of targets…there the resemblance ends.
She worked honestly, and hard to achieve her goals.
He… .
She was polite with the EU and won respect and more for the UK because of that…
He…
.
I didn’t agree with Mrs T’s politics but still give her credit for her honesty.
Him…
If you can’t say good, say nowt.
Have a feeling a lot of people are stabbing BoJo in the back already before he has had a chance, surely he should be given the opportunity to see what he can do in these
difficult times. It wont be easy but lets just wait a little while as he might turn out to be a fantastic PM and only time will tell that is if he is given that time, Buzzer.
to rectify it.
- now needs CF to do the same
