  1. As we all probably know, there are a couple or so of Brit expat forums that are forever fixated on the minutiae of Brexit, Boris and the (alleged) corruption of Boris and the Tory party who MUST be supported by Russian funds because they are Tories, of course ignoring another political party whose MP's and party organisation garner millions from communist run trade union donations. It doesn't matter whether other countries stand or fall - they'll still be whinging about Boris, Brexit and the Tory party to the exclusion of all else- except knitting, gardening and the exorbitant cost of importing custard powder, bisto, marmite and secondhand UK cars since Brexit. When someone outside their little bigoted circle dares to point out that the aforementioned groceries and more are actually available in French supermarkets, they are criticised and in some cases roundly abused for daring to intervene. Why? My opinion is that most of them do not bother to find out what is going on the rest of the world, France, or their own commune, so all they are capable of gossiping about is the UK.

  2. That is an EU problem not a Brexit problem. They are crying out for peeps to become pompiers in France. If my house is burning down or my family are trapped in a car after an accident, I really don't care who is the nationality of the person saving my house/or my family. It is a French attitude problem. If your son speaks fluent French then he should be able to become a pompier. IMHO.

  3. A more interesting question would be 'why do so many British posters on an Francophile Forum find it necessary to run down the country to which they have chosen, uninvited, to emigrate? "

  4. In most cases, it is the latter I think, Nick, plus boredom. So, bored, miserable, old gits. I suspect they were like that in UK as well.

  5. A lot of them do it to try to prove that they are more French than other immigrants. Some do it to convince themselves that they have made the right choice in emigrating to France, because they now couldn't afford to go back to the UK, so they are stuck. Some do it just because they miserable old gits.
