Le Pen

England won the World Cup 51 years ago. Sgt Pepper was released 50 years ago. The Clash released their 1st album 40 years ago. And England regained the ashes from a long dominant Oz a mere 12 years ago. Anthony Joshua became heavyweight champion of the world this year.

So I call bollocks

Or maybe it's just Scotland that's acheived nothing of note since Celtic won the European Cup on black and white telly.

When was the last time Europe was terror free?

 

Probably for about a fortnight after the "War to end all Wars".

 

But in Archers world Europe has been in peace for 70 years - but now he states that Europe has only ever been terror free for a fortnight, sounds like an ideal EU, let people bring their war to you and not know how to stop them.... brilliant, just brilliant!

 

Apparently Le Pen was third, behind L' Abstainee

 

Do you have to work hard to miss the point like that, or does it come naturally to you?

European tribes and nations have been continually at war with each other for at least 2000 years. Probably longer, but that is all the recorded history we have to go on.

There has been no war between member states of the EU at all, none.

The point of these observations is to illustrate the point that a united Europe with a common purpose is more peaceful than a divided group of competing nations.

There have been acts of terrorism throughout Europe's history.This century is an alphabet soup featuring the Baader Meinhof gang, Red Army Faction, ETA, IRA, Red Brigade, Angry Brigade etc.

The point of that last observation is to illustrate to little Englanders ****ing themselves into a frenzy over Isis, that moslemic nutters did not invent terrorism.

Seperate issues really, though related. Try not to be so easily confused.

 

So terror is not war...hmm

Yugoslavia never happened in EUROPE

The IRA never existed

What I find strange is you use history to make a point while in the same breath are denying history, to protect the EU's squeaky clean image...I call bullshit.

 

Beaucoup of them mate.

France is a divided and unhappy country. But at least they have the sense to know that fascism is not the answer, and nor is abandoning their European neighbours. Only actual idiots would choose either of those options...

 

Still 10.5 million people in France said otherwise, suppose that makes 27 million + idiots now!

 

What the **** is wrong with you?

Once again - the history of Europe is a history of warfare between nations.

During the brief history of the EU, there have been no incidents of war between member states.

Wtf is your point about the IRA not existing? I mentioned the IRA in the post you quoted, whilst making a point about terrorism.

What colour is the sky in that world you live in?

 

I don't deny that there are indeed an awful lot of utter ****ing racist spanners in France. Why don't you go and join them?

In fact I had some run ins with French skinheads around Narbonne and Perpignan back in the 80's when I was working down there - they'd have ****ing loved you. Most of them are repressed homos I think, & partial to a bit of "rosbif".

 

I think he was off sick the day they did European history in class.

 

Getting machine gunned down at a concert or sitting in the street eating a croissants is part and parcel of living in a big city.
Complaining about it is offensive to Muslim fanatics that simply have different customs to the French .
As you quite rightly say it is racist, just learn how to duck out of the way of the bullets and stop moaning French people.

 

Where did I say that? Simply pointing out that terrorism is nothing new and certainly wasn't invented by Isis. Don't you remember when the IRA bombed Wood Green High Road and The Archway Roundabout? That was a bit ****ing close to home but I don't recall anyone wanting to ban Guinness or The Pogues, which admittedly are preferable to Shisha pipes and Hijabs, but still.

A sense of perspective is called for. Islamic terrorism is not an existential threat to our way of life.

 

Are you joking ?
The RA used to put a bomb in a bin and call the Police to tell them to get the robot out.
There have been hundreds of people massacred in Western Europe by Islamic terrorists.

 

Oh yeah, the good ol' IRA, they were decent honest terrorists.

Like the Krays were decent honest criminals.
