Bit rich of us looking at the French so critically when our own politicians are hardly an example. The French have a much better standard of living and lifestyle and their education system and health service is better.

Utter nonsense. As a Brit now living in France (South West) there are far more French who speak English than the other way around. Also, how come they have STOP signs on their roads, if they object to using English? I have also just had a visit from my cleaner, who wished me a "Bon Weekend" ! I normally enjoy a debate on this channel, but this is risible.

It is around 33% of French people who speak English. I spend a lot of time in Marennes and Rochefort. Few speak English there but there is no reason why they should, of course.

Our neoliberal politics is going the same way 😂😂 National socialist to the right Democratic socialist to the left and the corporate socialist desperately hanging on to an ever failing ideology in the middle. Which way will it swing? Will it be the end of the fiat currency or will the democratic socialist takeover and use it to benefit the people instead of the corporations? Or will the corporate socialist manage to keep the steady decline going for another ten years??

They love the French fries and hate cinnamon in the apple pastry thing.

The French President is only "king-like" in VERY limited respects. The National Assembly is as powerful as the House of Commons is. Maybe more powerful, because their PM (if from a different party) is MORE powerful than the President. True, the French President appoints the PM, but the National Assembly can reject it and put in their own PM. Macron is in a very weak position as far as assembling a gov't is concerned, because he has a small minority, and a vote of no confidence could very easily eliminate any gov't he proposes. Also, there is no French King to bother with, and the French Senate is as weak as the House of Lords. Macron's only option is to put together a gov't that can get majority support, and that means making a thousand compromises.

This "debate" is a load of tosh.

Thankfully, there is a "rule of law" in the UK. ....or is there, really? The courts served at the pleasure of the Tories for years.

Putting the French down is fun and games for y'all, but it comes across as a mean-spirited British superiority complex. A lot of laughter in this chat, but I found it rather distasteful and not the least bit profound. Full of stereotypes.

I beg your pardon. You cannot say le weekend? everybody says le weekend. You analysis of france goes between acute to bonkers. The problem is, people listening to you won't know which is which. But in the end. We defeated fascism. We do not want some things which are now proven to be bad, and do as much as we can to achieve that goal. Pitfalls of french property ownership? What about leasehold in the UK? What about the average Uk person not wanting to listen to a song whose words they do not understand, while the French, like most of Europe, are happy with music whose words they do not understand. The french expect you to speak French...The brits do not expect you to speak English, do they?? French are happy parents. Somebody on your pannel said the French are rude to their kids. Really? Please explain because I have not experienced or witnessed that.

Philosophy as part of the school curriculum hasn't panned out too good.

I completely, but completely disagree. I think the UK should have philosophy on the curriculum. There are debating classes, not bad, but in order to debate you need to learn about ideas (No need to espouse them) and the thoughts movements which agitated the world. The result of not doing philosophy but having debating classes is: ideas are not properly argued, and the vaccum is filled with jokes. Humour is a great thing, but it is not enough.

The average clueless Remainer knows little about French history and the country's historical animosity towards England. They assume bigots made it up. France has been on the verge of a nervous breakdown for some time. De Gaulle came to power in a coup in 1958 and was a de facto dictator. De Gaulle never forgave Britain for the Fashoda Incident of1898 which nobody in Britain remembers. The news channel France 24 mentioned Fashoda recently when discussing Anglo-French relations, so it must still be a sore issue for the French elite. The French have been good at dragging the British elite into their wars, so we should watch out.

I am French, and I had to look up Fashoda. On the other hand, I have had a few Brits throw Napoleon back at me, as well as tell me that the French were cowards during WW1 and WW2. My late partner, the love of my life was British. I have been living here for 23 years. There are a lot of ties between France and the UK. To me they seem like members of the same family who like each other a lot, but can't help bickering over old family stuff.
