I apologize, I was just being bitterly sarcastic.

Look, E’s parents stayed in London during the bombings to calm the people...and they did...the thought that O and Sarkozy didn’t invite her when sooooooo many of her citizens died, well, that shows STUPIDITY AND LOW CLASS!

President Squarepants at work again.

Did his teleprompter blow over?

I have to go with my American view of Monarchists on this, my dead American ancestors would require it even though the British "royalty" were so "heroic" that they lived in Britain during the war. By the way France lost far more people than Great Britain or the United States did in WWII.

They were wrong to do this, but I have no real admiration for QEII. She knighted Elton John. Enough said.

[MarkT]

Hey, cmon - he gave some nice CD’s and returned the bust of that old dead white guy who had something with winning the war. He is Kenyan trash and will always be so.

[Ann Archy]

Sorry, I lived in London and I still love the Queen.

[Winniesboy]

Given that her private views on any of the matters you describe are and always have been unknown, and are attributed to her only by speculation, it's difficult to know whence derives your certainty.

she approves of Socialism, power inherited by bloodline, and a society choked by class structure.

Not easy to see how somebody could 'approve' of all three of those things simultaneously without standing on her head - and she's getting a bit old for that.

[Brit]

Don’t know exactly.. but those who did were the cream of the French crop. de Gaulle was leading from the back I understand..until the Americans let him take Paris and his 1st Armoured Division parade down the Paris main drag with him marching at their head like a 7ft tosser.

If ever a man was a drag on the Allied war effort it was de Gaulle!! As was proved later he had no love for the USA or the UK.

[Paperdoll]

:) Yup.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Most Americans couldn't understand how Britain suffered from the ravages of the war or how many sons she lost or what may have motivated her political leadership to devise national health, government subsidized jobs, etc as a result of the war. Food and fuel were rationed through 1953 in the British Isles.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Thank you for that information.

[Revelation 911]

no apology needed - I knew what you were saying - some other person might not though - Im guilty of forgetting tags as well

[Paperdoll]

My ancestors fought with George Washington in Valley Forge, too, but I still find O a source of embarrassment, if not outright fear, and I object to his ill mannered condoning of Queen Elizabeth’s absence in this commemorative conflab. She certainly has every right to be there.

[American in Israel]

OBummer blows it again. What a buffoon.

[the scotsman]

Shameful.

French troops fought bravely on D-Day.

French Commandos stormed ashore at Ouistreham and battered the Germans there(immortalised in The Longest Day). French Naval ships also supported the landings.
