Actually it was a 3 way system and without anyone of the 3 countries Germany would have won, we won the battle of the skies and the battle of the seas and our intelligence was by far the best of any countries led by the fact we had to destroy the French who were our allies to stop the Nazis taking control

We won the battle for the skies? Our RAF prevented German air superiority over our country but that was where our superiority ended.

The German invasion of Russia mixed with the hubris of Hitler thinking he could take them in a couple of months was basically the beginning of the end for them. He then had to plough resources into the eastern front. Also, ironically, Hitlers fondness for Britain and it's empire was another main factor in us never being occupied.

How fisherman's daughter dubbed the 'pirate of hope' sparked 'fishing war': Brexit-hating
hard-left French maritime minister Annick Girardin escalated tensions with threats to CUT
OFF Jersey's electricity

• Minister is a member of the Radical Party of the Left and a political street fighter
• 56-year-old grew up on French overseas territory of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon
• Was Francophone minister and has railed against impact of Brexit on fishing

Also responsible for fanning today's dispute is David Sellam, the head of the
Normandy-Brittany sea authority, who said that he believes Jersey has been
taken over by an 'extremist fringe who want to reduce French fishing access
and profit from Brexit'. He said: 'We're ready for war. We can bring Jersey to
its knees if necessary.'

Also, what are the British going to do about it? Stop selling the viewing rights of "The Crown" to Netflix France?

I'm sure she does have a couple of good points.

As long as my champagne and brandy supplies are unaffected, they can do what they want

All jokes aside threatening to cut off the electric is pretty low, if someone like Priti Patel suggested to do likewise to another country there would be understandable uproar, it seems to have been received quite well though

I voted remain btw, centrist views I know but they are dimly viewed by some

Let’s hope they don't move at a snails pace.
