That’s one way to get back into the EU ¯\(ツ)/¯
- Ahh, time to reforge the Auld Alliance then
- Historically France has been the good guy in their wars
If this were the 1300s France would be looking to invade.

True, regardless of the rest.
Macron has seemed rather bellicose of late...
- Right? Who said this isn’t France’s plan?
  
  What would France even do with UK though, have you seen the absolute state of the thing?
What's this about the king treating his cancer withe herbs?
- Charles is a long time advocate for homeopathy, even appointed a homeopath as head royal doctor.
  
  Oh.
  
  Oh yeah he dead like Steve Jobs.
  
  Homeopathy is not "herbs", though. Compared to homeopathy, herbs as a medication would have seemed lika a sane choice. At least herbs actually do have some medically relevant substances in them sometimes. Probably not the ones you need to treat cancer, but still, a hell of a lot more than the literally nothing that homeopathy brings to the table.
  
  That isn't treating it with herbs. That's treating it with sugar pills.
  
  Well, nice knowing him.
- Or the missing princess of Wales? There’s a lot to unpack here.
  
  There's some conspiracy theory that something has happened to Kate Middleton because she had abdominal surgery earlier this year and hasn't been seen in public for a little while, and a poorly photoshopped image of her with her kids was recently shared.
No Thanks.

France
- Well we've got a country going up for grabs. Anybody interested?
  
  Fry and Laurie was so brilliant.
Tbh it would probably improve matters
- imagine the improvement to the food
- Only if they bring some guillotines along with them, and a way to get the British public to give enough of a shit to actually use them..
What makes you think France is NOT looking to invade? Baguettes to Berettas, non?

D'accord! Pourquoi pas? Vive la France!
- Berettas are Italian
  
  Pretty sure they meant berets.
  
  Ferme ta bouche.
  
  Espèce d'andouille.
After Brexit comes Annexit, powered by !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works
- Unfortunately the US is in a better position to annex England and maybe Wales, than the EU. I don't like having to absorb dad into our country without also including mom (France), but that's how it goes sometimes.
The French monarchy is not in better shape.
- I would argue it is
  
  (This is a bad joke about how the best monarchy is no monarchy)
  
  Let's agree they're not in fighting condition... unless what you're fighting is soil erosion.
War were declared.
Don't make the royal family sound cool
Flanders has mobilised at the channel.
- Hi diddly-ho neighborinos!
Or we would do like in the 1000s and let just one french duke goes.
- Are we up for Normans round 2? What do we do this time? I’m not volunteering to round up the fucking fyrd man fuck all that.
July is going to be an interesting month
At least they ain't Hapsburgs. Actual blue blood.
- It's Habsburg, after the castle in Switzerland, the original seat of ~~great~~ house ~~Harkonnen~~Habsburg.
