French smear Brit dead

Sickening ... swastika and vile slogans on cenotaph.
One read 'Dig up your rubbish. It's fouling our soil.'

SICK French yobs daubed a swastika and vile anti-war slurs at a cemetery for 11,000 British troops.

The showpiece cenotaph at the graveyard in Northern France was smeared in red paint with the words: “Dig up your rubbish. It’s fouling our soil.”

Other slogans at the Etaples cemetery near Boulogne included “Death to the Yankees” and “Saddam Hussein will win and spill your blood.”

And the vandals wrote “Rosbeefs go home” — the French insult for Brits is roast-beefs. Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush were also branded war criminals.

The graffiti was discovered by a shocked gardener and spotted by around 80 visitors. It was cleaned off the same day.

Roy Hemmington — spokesman for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission — said: “We are deeply offended. This is the strongest language and most vile graffiti I have witnessed at a war graves cemetery.

“The suggestion that the bodies of soldiers who died for France should be dug up is particularly foul.”

Most soldiers buried at the cemetery were defending France at the Somme and Ypres during World War I.

Another 122 are troops who died fighting the Nazis in World War II.

Among the dead are a winner of the Victoria Cross, 217 holders of the Military Medal and 69 holders of the Military Cross.

A number had been awarded France’s top military decoration, the Legion d’Honneur.

Roy added: “Almost every British regiment has war dead here. This insults just about the entire British Army.”

Anti-British feeling has been whipped up in France since President Jacques Chirac refused to let the UN back action against Iraq.

Last night Jim Kelleher, chief clerk to the Royal Fusiliers Association, said: “No sane person would do this. It is a disgrace. I have family buried in France and if I could get my hands on whoever did this I’d bury them too.”

Jeremy Lillies, of the Royal British Legion, added: “It is distressing.”

The Sun’s Military Adviser Major-General Perkins said: “It is despicable.”

Appalled local MP Jacques Lang said: “It is an attack on the memory of the British and American soldiers who contributed to the liberation of our soil.”

Police captain Thibault Martin added: “It is sick and cowardly.”

The shocking news comes as a new poll reveals that a third of the French want SADDAM to win the war.

A massive 78 per cent of 1,000 people in the poll by French newspaper Le Monde disapproved of the Allied action.

But 16 per cent “really wish for” a Coalition victory — while 37 per cent said they would prefer one.

Perhaps Blair grew a backbone? 9/11 changed the way a lot of people viewed the world--I suspect Blair was one of those changed by it--he lost a number of his citizens in that attack.

Oddly enough the swastika is backwards.

That was my first thought, too. These guys are so dumb they didn't realize the Nazi swaztiki spins counter-clockwise, not clock-wise.

[Ole Okie]

I am beginning to think Black Jack Shellac is a middle eastern man who's had his skin bleached and face surgically altered.

Blacque Jacque Chiraque is changing his name to Micquel Jacqueson.

Oddly enough the swastika is backwards.

That was my first thought, too.

Of course you'd have to oppose a Nazi to see it from that angle.

Priceless.

[biblewonk]

I knew this was coming. I posted a few days ago that it won't be long and the French will desecrate our graves there. This is getting really close.

[newgeezer]

There'll never be a better reason to accelerate that (supposedly) planned name change. (BP Amoco did it; Fina can, too.)

[VRWCmember]

idiots didn't even get the swastika right.

That's what it looked like in their rear view mirrors when they were RUNNING AWAY.

[IvanT]

I knew I wasn't going to like this thread upon opening it. The French in France and in Canada are revealing their true selves. I think Britain should save a few bombs on the way back from Iraq and accidentally drop them on Paris.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Thanks for correcting my spelling ;) Blacque Jacques Chiraque it is. And yes he and Michel Jacqueson make quite a pair

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Brie ou camembert?

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

"O’er the hills we will advance, Through Belgium, Germany, and France; Adolph commands and we obey, Over the hills and far away."

Keep your head.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne

Ahhhhhh! C'est mieux!

[Constitution Day]

Lets bring our countrymen home and leave the "cesspool" a.k.a. "France".

Recently I spoke with a WW2 veteran - one who PERSONALLY helped to liberate France - and he said the same thing.
He was furious about it.

[BlueLancer]

"Keep your head."

At least mine is not buried in the sand ...

...or somewhere else that's equally as dark.

[Grampa Dave]

I guess that any bubbly labled Champagne, even the products grown, harvested and fermented in California are French products due to the word, Champagne.

[Bogey78O]

Champagne sued American growers who labeled their product champagne.

Now they have to market all non-French Champagne as "Sparkling Wine"

Frogs: Go to Hell.

You deserve to live under the German boot.

Well, my friend, I'd say they are gearing up to live under the boot of the islamofascists as they let them take over their country.

[Bigg Red]

That Chunnel is their cash cow


And also a main conduit for Muslims sneaking into England.

[Bigg Red]

You'd have a hell of a time buying a pair of pants.


ROTFLMHO!

[dixie sass]

This makes my blood boil. If they are doing it to the Brits, what is happening to the Americans buried there?
