The French are up to their old tricks. The English are being banned from travelling there from Saturday but the French are allowed to and fro. Is this a racist policy and if so is it just the start. |

Hmmm, if only we were in some form of political union where we all abided by the same rules...Maybe one in which we set common policy for things like travel and so on.
No it's not racist. That's dumb.
Is it the start? Of what? I think we already had the start (Thanks Farage), now we are the "reaping" phase |

I went to France on a school trip. I remember a lady laughing at us school kids trying to speak French. In the nicest way.
Quite a lovely memory really. She told us where to find a baguette and where the station was too |

I wonder if they’d have banned us if it was 1944 when they were under the bootheel of Gerry German…  Cheese eating surrender monkeys…. There were no white bedsheets available in 1940 because the French had made flags out of them …. 
Give us back our fish!!!
No travel- No fish - you decide Pierre!!! 
I have to go now - nurse has arrived with the custard creams….. |

"From Saturday, people arriving from the UK will have to have a negative Covid test within less than 24 hours"

As an example of French arrogance consider this. After France had been liberated by the allies in WW2, Charles de Gaulle the French President, tried to leave NATO.
It is reported that in a conversation with the US President LB Johnson he demanded all American service personnel should be removed from French soil.
"Does that include," Johnson is said to have replied, "those buried in it?"
The French are our natural enemy. Is anyone surprised there is friction between us? |

Absolutly, that man should be tried for treason for why he did. Spouting lies, angering the ignorant mobs and ultimately put us at a disadvantage in so many ways. All in the name of sovereignty, that we already had.
Now we are just little englanders in a mighty big pond. |

It's not racist as its not done by the UK. Anyway it seems all linked to the latest covid problems and trying to slow the spread. Not sure why the EU is mentioned in this thread unless they think if your in the EU you would not be able to do what the French are doing |

Absolute tripe.
We have more in common with the French than almost any other nation on earth. Not least because we almost all have French genes that were createdsomeplace in the dark and distant past.

The French and Germans are getting very similar figures right now. And everything another country does isn't 'AGAINST the Brits'.
And No the French don't hate the Brits or anyone else for that matter - Half French here with Family still living there (and Germany) and talking almost every day of the year.
The real problem is that some people allow themselves to have a very unhealthy victim complex. You know the kind, they catch somebodies eye across a large room and immediately lead with, 'are they talking about me?. Sort that out as a serious personalty flaw, and you will be better than half-way to removing your notion of British Geocentrism and living from within a wider perspective of awareness and consideration.

None of my French friends hate the brits.
I'm sure there's the odd bonehead. Just like everywhere. But most people I've ever met in France have been amazing humans.
Love visiting whenever I've had the chance. |

Nothing racist about borders, it's their border and they can do as they like, just like we and any other nation can do.
Some borders exist within the EU for serious reasons, don't see any objection to them. |

We had a 100 year war against the French . Everyone knows a nice Frenchman. Charles Aznavour was an example.. but when the English go there they deliberately serve us raw minced beef and raw egg .
They actually butcher frogs to eat their legs and they constantly eat garlic...

Both the UK and France are in the top 10 list of the world's best healthcare. Of those 10 countries, the highest is south Africa at number 87. The others are round about the 130's/140's. That's a significant difference. |

I am amazed to learn that some people are still alive who were at the battle of Agincourt.
Just shows how pulling those long bows is good for the heart and lungs.
Extraordinary.
..and to think I had previously thought it was only Spitfire pilots that fought in the war and saved the French singlehandedly that were on here to keep us right and bang on about how much the French owe the English for what they did.
Those that were there during Agincourt will really push up the average age of those taking part on these forums...

“The English are being banned from travelling there from Saturday but the French are allowed to and fro”
These travel rules are applicable to ALL persons coming to and from these countries, irrespective of whether they’re English, French or Martian. So hardly racist!
Admittedly a shite-show, it’s now costing me more in pre-departure and day-two testing - payable IN ADVANCE for the UK ones, just to make sure that Testings’r’Us etc. get their cash - than the flights themselves. Not so much a racist policy (although tit-for-tat squabbling is evident) or even an anti-COVID measure, more a money-making scam. I wonder just how many pharma companies will have Johnson, Macron et al on their Boards of Directors when it’s all over? |

Yes despite Welsh archers being the decisive factor in that ‘English’ victory, the French have little quarrel with Wales as the great rugby fraternity can attest. |

Minor Correction - Charles Azanavour was Armenian born in France so took French nationality. He did however write some brilliant songs and could put true emotion into singing even a laundry list! |

"I think it was George S Patton who said:
"I'd sooner have 100 Germans in front of me than one Frenchman behind me".
Distrust of the French isn't new."
I can’t post the link as some with anelevated station who are certainly not Rockers may have a cause for concern.
Hovever a site which validates and meticulously documents quotations states:
“I'd rather have a German division in front of me, than a French one behind.”
Misattributed by former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger on Fox News. Patton commanded French troops, the 2nd Armored Division commanded by Philippe Leclerc, integrated in the Third Army, and had rocky but friendly relations with the French general. For instance, on August, 15 1944 Patton wrote in his diary: "Leclerc came in very much excited. He said, among other things, that if he were not allowed to advance on Paris, he would resign. I told him in my best French that he was a baby and said I had left him in the most dangerous place on the front. We parted friends" |

The reality is that this virus is already in mainland Europe but these measures will (hopefully) give the health services more time to prepare and the opportunity for more people to get the vaccine (whether initial, 2nd or booster - they all help).
Vaccine rollout across France and Germany is akin to that of the UK so it is just a race against time with the focus to protect as many people as possible before the inevitable happens.
Anything that delays the spread of the virus, when by a few days, will likely save lives.
Perhaps this thread started to bash the French but the reality is, as always, that lives are at stake. |

This is not true.
People can not travel from France to the UK without an essential reason.
Ie. somebody closely related who is ill or has died, medical evidence must be presented.
We have had to cancel our Christmas holiday from France to the UK for this reason.

Seeing as you all are maligning whole nations,long before there was patton there was the term "perfidious albion", that goes back centuries and basically means england is not to be trusted in terms of international relations or international deals.
It might go back centuries but it holds true still today as we see with bojo and co.

Uk is totally out of step with rest of europe on covid so this is why travel is restricted.

More about slowing the spread and saving lives. It comes at a very high cost to France financially to prevent people from the UK visiting. It was on the news last night, the French winter resorts are usually mostly occupied by brits but now more like ghost towns with people losing their jobs. |

Oh yes "Perfidious Albion" That one has popped up quite a few times.
Many like to quote it but very few know its origins.
It first appeared in a 1795 poem (some would say anti English diatribe) by Augustin Louis de Ximenes.
The date is important as it was slap bang in the middle of the French revolution and pretty much at the height of "The Terror" the name given to the mass murder of French aristocrats (among many others) which Ximenes supported.
The British did not support the French revolution and were called many things at the time, I suppose being called a few names was better than having your head looped off. As many in France did.
Since then it has been used by many from Napoleon to the Kaiser as a term to insult Britain when at war.
If standing up to those two is perfidious then I will take the compliment.

Not sure if that’s crystal clear, the French respect many English values and achievements despite a contempt for the present govt.
