OF KROUTS AND FROGS

Ursula Von der Leyen, President of  the  European Commission, needs a lesson in geography, as the snappy little fellow who currently runs France needs one in  history.

Where the fragrant Ursula – 62, blonde, blue eyed  and slim and just about the cutest  Krout pensioner going – is concerned she needs to stop differentiating between good old Blighty and Europe, emphasised regularly by her in phrases  such as:- “neither Europe nor the UK etc etc”.

Ursula,  “mein gnadige frau”, the UK is not on some other continent and is still a part of Europe, but it has joined ten other European countries ranging from Iceland to Switzerland, who are not members of the European Union.

I know that you personally, as a good German, are somewhat niggled that Great Britain has – for the third time – evaded your clutches but you’d better get used to the idea that you might run some of Europe but not all of it, and you don’t run England. Neither you nor your collaborator Emmanuel Macron.

The diminutive President of France is so pissed off with our freedom that he is  getting spiteful. Hence his recent comment that the UK is “under some delusion  that it rescued Europe from the Nazis”. He really should check out the role of Britain in WW2 although he could be forgiven for not dwelling  on that of his fellow Frogs in the same period.

While your lot, shorty, were entertaining the Wehrmacht in Paris, we were cheek to jowl with the Luftwaffe in London and over 70,000 of our citizens in the capital and other cities were killed until we beat the bustards in just a few months. The same lot that beat you in a few days.

This victory – plus our victory over the U boats – enabled a non-occupied England to become the jump off point for the invasion or Europe in which ensuing conflict 384,000 of our soldiers died.

There are many other stats which one hopes you choke on like the 30,000 men of our Merchant Navy who died helping our armed forces liberate you while your Vichy “Leur Marine” cowered in port at Mers-el-Kebir  plotting to join the German Kriegsmarine.

Yes, I know this is all a bit jingoistic. but it also happens to be the truth, and dwell on this. Had England – once the German name for the whole of the UK – not come to the rescue of the rest of Europe, there would be no European Commission. No Brussels gravy train. Much of the continent would be run by Germany.

No comment!
