Sacrebleu!
Feeding criminal freeloaders will wipe out your treasury.
Just pathetic and embarrassing.
Mind exercise: If they manage to get a French escort group, will they run away when taking incoming? Your brain won't even break a sweat.
* Sacrebleu! *
does this translate to “holy s—t?”
Remember the article about how ferocious Europe’s military might was soon to become.. what a joke to believe 90% of drive-by garbage. So easy to spot these days.

Jackie Fisher is rolling over in his grave.
The UK is a muslim 3rd world country trying to pass itself off as 2nd world.

Talk of the Americans putting boots on the ground in Iran.
Please let me be abundantly clear about Restore Britain’s position here.
ZERO British troops on the ground - in Iran or Ukraine.
Our priority is the British people - that is our only priority.

Mr. Lowe, you lot can’t even defend yourselves from your own government.
The US will deal with Iran.
You deal with your Deep State.
Using F-35’s as well.
