    They have always been ornery!

    1. Only the French would "restage the Battle of Trafalgar", bearing in mind it was an ignominious military defeat for them. The problem they have is to find a french naval victory i n the last 600 years, needle in a haystack .....

    2. The two french boats are not 'warships', they are what you Yank would call Patrol Boats, they are 100 tonnes and 400 tonnes displacement with crews of 12 and one 20mm cannon and two machine guns. The two British ships are Offshore Patrol Vessels, 2000 and 1677 tonnes displacement, crews of 34, two 30mm cannon, two machine guns and two Vulcan made Miniguns . Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight.

    Plus ofc being french military they are not permitted to enter British Territorial waters (ie the 12 mile limit) so they can turn up but have to watch the action sitting on the horizon, far away in the mist.....

    The link was to Sky News but it showed nothing related to the story. It only showed Page Not Found.
    I never called you a VAXhole or a Vaccine Evangelist. You ASSumed that I did. Your self-ASSumed guilt is your problem and not mine.

    Islam is a religion of violence and terror as practiced by the Islamofascists. The Muslims that do speak out against terror are then terrorized by the Islamofascists and are ignored by the Lap Dog Media.
