Glad to hear it. Maybe if enough cheese-eaters get blown up by the muzzie scum, the France will grow a set.

‘Stolen’?

Don’t worry... they will be ‘returned’ (here and there) allover France.

I’d start checking with the 6 Christians left in France to see if they stole the stuff. Or am I too late in already suggesting this?

Have the French even stirred an eyelash since a man was beheaded at Air Products and said head was mounted on a fence? I fear for my future and the future of the west.

Just some fireworks to celebrate the Eid feast at the end of Ramadan.

Move on. Nothing to see here.
