The French didn't 'roll over' they suffered heavy casualties. Even then they formed the resistance.
So to mock them for that simply because they didn't vote the way you wanted, especially when it's a party who were formed in part of Vichy collaborators, is rather poor taste and shows a history learned from films more than anything else. |
So what has Xenophobia got to do with that ? What is xenophobic about those memes?
Distasteful, disrespectful yes, xenophobic no.
And I have already said I did not care who won, so leave the 'vote the way I wanted' out of it, especially where I am concerned. If anything, and as already stated, Macron winning points to a hard Brexit, which I do want.
