Frogs hide on Frenchie Tootoo


Symptoms

You really couldn't make it up!  The Frog cabin staff ran away and locked themselves in a secure compartment and left it to the Yankees and a Brit to tackle the gunman.  Remember the last two big bunfights with Fritz when the Frogs scarpered and left it to the Brits and the Yankees to save their bacon.  That yellow-bellied cowardice gene must run through the Frenchie DNA.

"we also ran at Dunkirk"

 

What? A wholesale revision of history there, Tony. Start again, at the beginning. Nobody 'ran' at Dunkirk; indeed, it was an example of exxtreme comradeship, something I thought you of all people would recognise. Necessary and unfortunate in one go, but certainly not an act of cowardice.

"Sumps,  Sumps", as in, "Sumps you do talk rubbish ...",  ... what's going on here?  Those of us on the left should stick together but maybe all the vituperous abuse currently loose in the Labour Party is rubbing off on those here who should know better.

 

Fact:  All Allied land forces in France (and later in Belgium) during the early stages of both those bunfights with Fritz where under the Supreme Command of Frenchies.  All history scholars agree that the blame for what happened rests, to a massive degree, on their uncertainty, doubt and timidness.  What finally happened (Dunkirk) was a well-planned tactical retreat organised by the Brits and due in large measure to some incredible bravery shown by a number of 'rearguard' actions by mainly British troops.

 

Fact: Recent research has shown the numbers of Frenchies involved in La Résistance française had been massively overblown;  most Frogs kept their heads down whilst Fritz was on the prowl - I don't blame them.  But the really brave Frenchies involved in the struggle against the Bosch were pretty thin on the ground even if, after the war, every other Frog claimed membership.

 

Fact: Why is it that there's hundreds of jokes about the cowardly French unless there's some truth in the crude caricature.
