This from Roger Bell across the pond:

UK was blockaded twice in the 20th century. Those who enjoy history will not be surprised that history has repeated itself this is the first blockade of the 21st-century. It is not surprising that the blockade was kicked off by those who have not yet got over Brits burning Joan of Arc, losing at Waterloo, Agincourt and WW2. However having started the ball rolling the French must be delighted that the great proportion of the rest of the world has now blockaded Britain too. How happy Macron and his mother must be. I’m sorry if I sound bitter But I have watched the French cheat their way through the Coal and Steel Alliance, the Common Market, the European Community and helped create the federal superstate European Union. They have broken nearly all the laws, rules and regulations along the way and at the first chance they get they exacerbate an already difficult problem for the Brits, the very nation who stood by them in WW2. Well the ones who were interested in being liberated from the Nazis. But as we now know not everyone in France wanted to be liberated from Germany. Being the only major combatant who does not have a formal National history of the conflict. it is very telling that they remain riven by their guilty conscience. In some small way they are trying to abate that unfortunate feeling by getting their own back on the Brits with this pointless and unnecessary blockade. Many will not forget what they have done this week and I hope my friends you do not forget either the next time French come knocking.
