Battle must not 'bash' French

Erm... Does anyone else find this odd?

[q]A re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar is not an opportunity for "French-bashing", says the Royal Navy.

Instead of the British taking on a French/Spanish fleet at next month's event to mark the battle's bicentenary a "red" force will take on a "blue".

Navy organisers fear visiting officials may be embarrassed at seeing their side beaten, The Sunday Times reported. [/q]

Why do I sense the hands of europhiles at play?

Okay, that has gone too far...are we do PC now that we can't even reenact a historical battle without changing it so the losers don't feel bad?

The French/Spanish lost that battle.  It's history.  Dear God in Heaven save us from the PC cretins who would rewrite history so that nobody was ever effected negatively...
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

It's not called the Blitzkrieg anymore, it's now the 'Poland incident'...

It ended there, yes.

But it began (in Brittain's eyes) at Poland. No?

I wouldn't call it the Poland Incident once Germany started going West.  Perhaps we could call it "Hitler's Sneeze"

God Knows if I had the money I would stage my own re-enactment, and have the French owned completely, without a Single British loss, just to annoy the PC Brigade.

Hehe Bobbaou :p

Seriously though, PC freaks need to be strung up by their ankles so that they can actually get some blood flow to their brains.  What's next:  "Oh, the Holocaust wasn't genocide, it was a 'racial incident.'"  **** like this makes me sick.

Just like the Soviets were invited into Eastern Europe, right?
