The French snub Her Majesty
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-wont-act.html
Buckingham Palace voiced anger last night after the French snubbed the Queen over next week's D-Day commemorations.
Aides said senior royals had repeatedly made clear their eagerness to support the historic 65th anniversary events in Normandy.
But last night French officials crushed any remaining hopes, admitting they had never had any plans to invite members of the British Royal Family.
They said President Nicolas Sarkozy was focused on the 'main event' of hosting U.S. President Barack Obama.
There was also anger at the British Government for failing to secure a Royal invitation from their French counterparts. Protocol means they cannot simply invite themselves.
The failure to invite the Queen - who is head of state of both Britain and Canada - will be seen as an insult to the memory of the 17,556 British and 5,316 Canadian troops who died to free France and are buried there.Charles Brindley

Re: The French snub Her Majesty
Why don't we do a re-creation and bombard the beaches during the ceremony, to show what it was like?
Stupidity is like nuclear power.
It can be used for good or evil.
And you really don't want to get any on you.

Nuke them! Nuke them now!
Oh, wait, its the Daily Mail. Stand down.
Brigadier Bill Aldridge, commander of British forces in the South Atlantic, responded by saying: ‘I am not expecting to hand the islands over to anybody and therefore put us in a position to have to retake the islands.’

The next time someone invades France, let the French sort it out themselves...........

This is Colonel Smith. Druid Jones, please.
Sorry, Sir. Druid Jones is off conducting a Bar Mitzvah.
Can druids do that?
We just have to remember the difference between a circumcision and a castration, Sir.

A French Tony by the looks of it, a sycophantic greaser with no concept of history.

Re: The French snub Her Majesty
Well, we all know that America won the war, so why are we not surprised that our own Civil Serpents and Politicos, not known for their support of things Royal or Military, are supporting that view?
And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Re: The French snub Her Majesty
Well, we here in the UK should make a special extra event on Trafalgar Day, 21st of October. Tell any PC wittering Numpties to stay clear, and don't invite Mr Sarky-ozee or his Bit on the Side......
Keep Pa Broone and his Cabinet Numpties away as well.......... :P :PArtificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity .....

Re: The French snub Her Majesty
Sounds like the frogs are trying to get extra cosey with the US, and in doing so have disrespected the memory of the Brits that fell on their soil!
1 Ticket for the outrage bus please.
Sorry, forgot to mention the Canadians aswell, no disrespect intended.
