I make no comment, but simply direct you to this article. In case it evaporates, here is the relevant bit (right at the bottom):
Today is July 14 when those dreadful people south of Dover celebrate the start of the French Revolution in 1789.

We Brits, too, are entitled to cheer.

A few years before the Revolution, the French king and his trendy, right-on aristocrat pals decided that liberty was very chic.

So they supported the Americans in their War of Independence and played a big part in kicking the Brits out of America.

A little later, however, the French peasants also discovered liberty and celebrated by chopping the heads off their king and his aristocratic pals.

Excellent.
