O/T Donald Trump

Brexit + + +

The mood in France isn't a generous one for the English nor the Trump victory. I say the English because the majority don't realise that it's a united kingdom and they think it was just the English responsible for Brexit.

Let's be honest, has the mood in France ever been a generous one for the English, Brexit or not?

Don't confuse the politicians (not Frog of course) with the real French.

We've been more than welcomed by 99%

That means 668210 people hate you

...but 99% of them live in Paris (I know, I had two years there...) so you've only got to deal with just under 7,000. Not too bad!

Very true. Just back and made welcome. Personally think that many would feel the same as us. Next years French election will be the yardstick as to how they feel about Europe and issues raised by Brexit and the Trump victory. Who was the first European politician to congratulate The Donald? It was Le Penn.

Crazy Americans, even crazier Brits who support the buffoon, and his chinless sidekick Farage, how their kind of politics gains popularity amaong working class folk is beyond me.....

As for the French, i've holidayed in France, touring all over, for the last few years and i've had nothing but respect and friendliness shown to me by the French people, though the drivers in Paris are all f*cking lunatics....

You're right Peri, I do mean politically they've changed. They already have changed the number of of european member states to 27 even though it's still 28.
I think but I'm not 100% sure that the armesdice speech has changed. It used to mention our help as in United Kingdom but now say European allies. They do mention the Canadians along side the Americans entering the WW1 in 1917 together. I'll get a copy of the speech that is given to all of the mayors to read out the next time I visit.

When the true cost of Brexit hits the farming population then the opinion of a lot more will evident.

I saw Farage ont television last night with a smug look on his face saying that he'd had meetings with some of Trumps aids. He said that the Americans aren't too happy with Theresa May and co. If Farage wants the best for the British he goes about it the wrong way.

Trump on the other hand looks like a rabbit in the head lights for me.

Don't get me wrong I'm not a supporter of Farage or ukip but I think the government are missing a trick not using Farage as link to Trump , brexits happened and Trump is in the white house , this isn't the time to be playing party politics , deals need to be cut sooner than later and the country's more important than stuffy Tories playing the everything's under control game because we all know it isn't .

They weren't even that when we liberated them in WW2.

Remember, more French fought for the Axis powers than the allies.
