    As far as I know Willsman said something which compared Israel to the Nazis - is that racist ? It happens often that this or that state is given such an unfortunate comparison, but apparently Israel is immune from this. It may have been an idiotic comment, but I cannot see it as racist. The political system has this in common with the Nazis, namely that they see the nation state as an organic/racial/biological concept which nobody else can be a part of.

    I think it’s possible to innocently compare the two but the vast majority of the time people know what they’re doing.

    While you are over in France ask people what they think of the U.K. and if you find anyone that can’t stop laughing about our political record ask them what we should do

    Once again you don't make sense. If there is a no deal we won't get wine from France and cars from Germany. In fact the Japanese cars are really good. We have already made a post-Brexit deal with them:emoticon-0127-lipss opps I shouldn't have said that as it's not common knowledge. Dodgy Aussie wine is on the way and don't forget that dodgy chicken from the US. :1980_boogie_down:

    They laugh at our political record? <doh> When I am in France I visit sites where brave British soldiers gave their lives so they could be free from Germans.

    Last time I used it I was delayed for 2 hours because migrants wanted to escape from France and get to the UK.

    Yes, agree. Poor negotiations makes it more difficult for May, Hunt etc to convince the EU we're not going to fold again now. But May can't afford to, or she's toast

    Japanese cars are on the whole rubbish they bring out a new model each month plus they look crap. We can buy French cars from Luton as they shown us how to make them properly and they are actually making a profit

    English people today are useless engineers
    They think they have skills but generally that is a thing of the past

    booooo:emoticon-0149-no: I watched a great BBC news item recently about how fab our engineers are and what great specialists we have in the UK. Next you will be telling us that our intelligence community is crap compared to France. That is something they will lose out on decent security. I have seen first hand how the French police work <doh>

    He accused the Jewish community of falsifying social media and being 'Trump fanatics' . Suppose he singled out Black Africans for being drug dealers. Would that be racist?

    Go and visit the places where the French invented underwater sprout farms

    British soldiers were not all brave most where slaughtered by bad politics by us and poor decision making from the emery

    Own goal there Ellers
    We didn’t win the last war alone
    The price France paid and sacrificed so you can make the comment above is wrong

    Go and visit some others mate
    They were all brave

    If I were to say something like the North Korean regime are like the Nazis it would never be taken as a racist comment about all Koreans. The same applies to any other country with either a dictatorial background, or which is persecuting others, so why is this any different with Israel ?

    If he accused the entire Jewish community of something then he is either being misquoted or he is, indeed, being racist. But I have not seen the quotes on this.

    Stop talking rubbish DT. Agree the French did pay a price...Just not the ones in Vichy France? It's taken me ages to get across this country with modern roads...The bloody Germans took less time. Don't go there.
