Why we love The French

[Lord Bracknell]

I don't know why people think the French are bad at fighting in wars. They had that Nepoleon bloke didn't they. Oh wait, he was really from Italian decent.

There wasn't such a nation as Italy when Napoleon was around.

EDIT:

Born in Corsica and trained as an artillery officer in mainland France,

These days maybe but if your country is threatened/attacked you need to be prepared and when things like 9/11 and 7/7 happen you have to defend the country so using that against the UK Government isn't a good idea, dont defend yourself and you will be exploited.
