You wrote "presumably his gloss on the fact that the French have lost every war they have fought in the last 800 years."
I've not long been called an Anglophobe for saying I thought World War One was unacceptable murder - an accusation now common whenever someone criticises Britain by some people.
and I seem to remember that not too long ago you accused my of hating Britain because I disagreed with much of British policy
If I mis-remembered, my apologies, if not, you really can't have it both ways.
