These actions just seem unnecessarily antagonistic.

Could not have put it better myself.

Where was all the outrage when the British version of Balls of Steel projected 'Bonjour Bellends' on one of their monuments?

The English really know how to embarrass themselves, sometimes.

Misplaced superiority complex over the rest of Europe.

If that is in response to my post then I was referring to this so called 'hatred' of the French as banter.



Anyway, who's to say this didn't happen and the Sun are making it up, after all it is a Murdoch rag and not only that, the reporters would have been carted off by the police if it had happened.

No, it was just a general comment in response to some other posters earlier on in the thread. I'm all for a bit of genuine banter.

SOME English people and shitty tabloids that represent this type of Englishperson.

I am English and find this kind of stunt abhorrent.

Disgraceful and antagonistic......but what else can you expect from gutter press media which appeals to those who think it's a "newspaper"?
