    I'd fight it by socially marginalizing those immigrants and burn their embassies. It works very well for us when we have to do it in the UK but it can't be done in France for cultural reasons.

    Not the whole country, but expanding our presence and setting up a cute military base would be nice indeed. Adding a some square kilometers to the territory is the least we can do.

    Because

    "London could hold the key to victory for any candidate as it has the largest concentration of French people across the whole constituency.
    "All of the main parties have chosen candidates based in London," says Philippe Marliere, professor of French and European politics at University College London."

    We can recognise sarcasm (although pirate faces help ), but Chimeras recent posts have been either retarded, or the results of drug consumption.

    That is freakin' stupid...American's abroad amount to electoral votes...I think it's like two...but they have representation in their state of residence ie PO box if they really don't have any residence in CONUS.

    Let's be honest with ourselves, the British also defend their interests in France with a much more subtle and insidious way. MI6 is of course all over the place in France gathering top intel inside french ministries, governmental organisations, big french companies... Same thing: protecting interests.

    Jesus Christ. I wish I had a penny for every time you've mentioned MI6 in the last week. I could get an extra pint down the local this evening.

    So is MI6 also in Switzerland to protect British interests, say in the fighter deal so that the French Mirage wasn't chosen?

    Where's the French intel service then, don't you have one?

    So basically you'd have to fight for your country because your government was asleep at the wheel? Sounds like a great place to live.

    Officially, I don't think there's an organisation to protect our interests through illigal or under-cover operations. That's just not how we roll officially.

    When I say 'I', I generalize. Of course the french government would do somthing about it. The french gov does everything about anything.

    As a Dutchman, I've seen some weird sh*t, but the dope Chimera is on must be some heavy stuff..Pray tell, Chimera, if France can have an MP for expat citizens, why can't other countries have an MP for their citizens? Did you think we'd be sending over some dude to go sit in the French parliament or something?

    Also: Maybe if you mention MI6 often enough, they'll come take you away and you can be Judi Dench's loveslave.

    AIVD aren't doing illegal things in France, so they're not bothered by you.
