    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.

    Why don't we do a re-creation and bombard the beaches during the ceremony, to show what it was like?

    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...........

    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.

    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.
