I am sure they don't, but as I said earlier, from a French perspective, there are memories of things we did and didn't do that they may feel differently about than we might, and it is understandable. None of us fought, and although we can be proud of the generation that was called upon, I don't...

Yeah Ok feckwit, course you did. You know, I know, and anyone who reads it can see.

Glasfryn said. "that was not the point I was trying to make, we still had to go over there and save them imagine if we had not done that" I said "So it was not in Britains self interests at all? " Feckwit alfredmizen said. "The Germans offered us an armistice, they would have...

Yes feckwit, they did offer us an out, and yes we chose to continue fighting. Happy to accept that as fact, never disputed it. What I maintain, and you now deny, is that you offered it as an option we could have taken and that would have been in British best self interest to take. The inference...

That was the price that was paid. Not the result that was sought. I am not going to try and give you a history lesson, and there are differing views, but Britain, acted in what it believed, rightly or wrongly, were it's best interests at the time, it was not an altruistic action purely for the...

I asked another poster if he thought it was not at all in Britains self interest to fight the Nazi's. Which prompted from you, "The Germans offered us an armistice, they would have europe, we would keep the empire, we turned them down." Not only reinventing 20th century history, now trying to...

You proffered it as a deal that would have been in British own self interest to take.

I was trying to point out that what was offered was not acceptable, because it would leave us with a situation that was not in our interests. Of course if you think it would have been in Britains self interest, I asked, given that you have voted to leave the E.U, because you feel it is in...

Is English a second language for you? Ask people of London, Coventry and Liverpool where the second world war was MAINLY fought, I doubt anyone would say U.K.? For 4 years, France was occupied, we were as you say, not equipped to kick the Nazis swiftly out. But for a French man, hearing on the...

Are you saying you like the sound of that deal?

I did not say they were correct in their beliefs, I think it was naive for them to believe that, as the very next sentence stated, much as I think you are naive to vote out, but I would understand your anger if we did not go ahead with it.

No, no clue at all. You have Jeremy Clarkson view of WW2, you want to play top trumps European armies, and suggest that no one else in Europe gave as much in terms of dead soldiers to resist Hitler, which is bollox. The French declared war on Germany at the same time as we did, and given that...

Yes, but the French believed they would not have been used by Germany. We could not take the chance, and we had to do it of course, but imagine if the situation were reversed. How would you feel about the French?

So it was not in Britains self interests at all?

If you are referring to our French brothers, despite having been at war with them more often than not over the last 500 years, French soldiers held the lines whilst our lads and a large number of French bugged out of Dunkirk, we then bombed the shit out of their ports and sunk their navy...

You ****. If they had a referendum in 1939, tackle Hitler, yes or no, you would be one of the ***** voting to leave them to it. **** me, you don't have a ****ing clue.

So if we had a referendum to bin the NHS, or stick with it, which way would you go? We can all see the benefit of having an organisation that has saved countless lives, but it is quite expensive and I am sure we could go it alone, a lot of people would be ****ed now but it would be better in the...

It is this sort of bollocks about WW1 and WW2 that keeps us separated in Europe. Nearly twice as many French lost their lives in WWI and WW2 as British.

It will be a tougher search if players on the continent are not able to move freely to the U.K.
