You are wanted here, dear. The Guardian has made things a bit nippy, and it sometimes gets quite unkind. You might ping MadIvan - he's a Brit - and he can tell you firsthand that many do not know that we have a strong British and Canadian Contingient on FreeRepublic. I think people would be less likely to be insulting if they knew a British or Canadian friend was actually listening to their posts.
If you think THIS is tough, try being of French extraction here. I haven't even come out yet...
Oops.
We love Brits. Please continue to post and contribute. We Anglophones must stick together.
French,huh? I never knew:')
Snail Eating Give Up Frog!!!!!

There's a couple of French that have been on here in the past. One was the "Dissident Frogman",(I found his web-site through this site.), and Sabine Herrold(sp?), who protested about the French government's handling of pensions, or something. She also was supportive of us going into Iraq. I haven't seen either of them on here in awhile; so I sure hope they didn't get disgusted with the "French bashing" on here.
Honestly, I can't see bashing the whole country's people because of the behavior of their leaders, media, and the protesters! Some of my relatives came over from France; and I hate to see all of them being bashed!
French, huh? *****making note about dandelion to self*****
Allow me to be the first to start. Did you know that french for Dandelion is pissenlit? Of course you knew it, you, you frenchman you.
I'm of French extraction. My maternal and paternal great grandparents were from the Haut Garronne region, in the Pyrenees.
I thought they were nuts to leave a civilized country and come to the swamps of Louisiana. Now I'm glad they did.
France is a beautiful country- it's just full of Socialist French. I wouldn't give you a Euro for the lot of them, and if I have relatives there I sure don't want to meet them.
