UK.iMaZiR

Maybe you omitted the fact that Brits have bad weather, bad teeth, horrible food, are gay, arrogant and still believe they rule the world except in Afghanistan, as of yesterday (read the Telegraph, moron)…

[…] For the rest of this hilarious and perhaps inappropriate list go to Uk.Imazir […]

Because they are longing for things gone away: their Empire, their humour.

I am in Amsterdam and last time i fucked 1 english girl, she said to me that we are really better than the rosbeafs !!!!

I am not French but I sell for a French electricity company well established in Britain. I come across
people who really seem to hate the French,not in a jokey way like for the above reasons but real naked hatred. I am curious to know why.
It seems to be only the English though.I have not come across this with the Scottish,Welsh or Irish
One guy wouldnt change his electric company as he wondered what would happen if we had a war with France.They might cut off our electricity he said
As both sides have nuclear weapons and as a missile travels at 3000 mph we would both be annihilated within 15 minutes so electricity would not be required at all.Does anyone have a sensible reason for this hatred or is it like other types of racism totally without a rational basis

The British hate the French mainly because they have no respect for the British even after we saved them TWICE from the Germans. I, as a British person, respect the Germans more than the French because at least they can fight a bloody war.

Quite honestly, one isn’t truly British unless they queue, enjoy drinking tea and hate the French.

Sedition some infos for you about WW1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties
you will see that the total effective of UK+ireland was about 40% of french military wounded

Maybe the british had less deaths because they fought better!

This hate of the English for the French (who don’t care so much about the English) is stupid. You keep thinking that “we saved them twice” so I would suggest you to read about WW1, and then to read what happened in Dunkirk in 1940, you will realize that you lost in 1940 just like them, but could escape to your land and from Germany, France is first so …
I think the roots of this hate is 1006 and what you prefer to call the “norman” conquest, pretending it had nothing to do with France, lol

Funny! English hate French but spend their time talking about them whereas french don’t even bother to do so. (maybe because we have nothing to be jealous of)
As for the (stupid) comments about world war you can’t compare the 2 countries since british were far from the battlefield whereas it was not the case for France which was invaded. And they helped because Germany was a huge threat and they also wanted to save their own asses not out of generosity. (by the way they only “helped” but didn’t “save” people)
But let’s talk about today. Is england famous for its health care system, culture, food or fashion? Do people talk about your wine, your classy men/women or how beautiful your language sounds?
They are seen as Bush’s dog and want to benefit from the european union but not take the risks and involvement it requires. And even if my english is far from being perfect, I’m sure most english would’nt be able to speak another language.Tell me who’s arrogant now?

Haha ,You will be an english for perpetrate the myth you saved france , remenber Dunkirk.

English Military History
Celtic invasions Circa 600 BC: The original Brits surrender to the Celts, inhabitants of modern-day France, thereby adopting Celtic culture. Unfortunately, the small amount of Celtic invaders prevented any improving of the British bloodline.

Caesar’s expeditions to Britain 55-54 BC: Caesar takes a walk in Britain, making the Britons surrender twice. He is forced to leave due to troubles in Gaul, and, fortunately for the Brits, is murdered by men in togas before he can come back as he intended to.

Roman invasion AD 44: The Britons surrender, and the Romans are only deterred from going North by the Scots. Rotten weather and poor cooking, however, ensured that Roman Britain remained a backwater province.

Boudicca’s rebellion AD 61: The Britons are roused by a spirited lass and revolt. Unfortunately, their men were not half as brave as her and surrendered. This makes the Britons the first nation to have been defeated four times by the Italians.

Anglo-Saxon invasion 5th century AD: No longer having the Romans to defend them, the Britons swiftly cave in to the Anglo-Saxons. In other words, they surrender to themselves.

Viking invasions 8th-11th century AD: The English swiftly surrender to the Vikings, recurring to bribes in order to save their sorry asses. The Danes establish the Danelaw, a series of territories surrendered to them by the English, and receive frequent, massive bribes known as the Danegeld just to keep quiet. The English lost thousands of pounds in gold out of cowardice.

Norman conquest 1066 AD: The English surrender to the French after the battle of Hastings in what may be their swiftest surrender yet. The English elites proceed to speak French and be ruled by French kings for centuries.

Civil wars 11th-12th centuries AD: The English kick their own asses, culminating in the surrender of the English to the English.

Third Crusade 1189-1192 AD: Richard the Lionhearted (or chickenhearted?) surrenders to Saladin; he then proceeds to be captured by Austrians and is ransomed for a fortune.

Bouvines 1214 AD: The English get their asses handed to them by the French, and thereby surrender Normandy.

First Barons’ War 1215 AD: The English, in true English fashion, surrender to themselves. Honor is preserved, and the tradition of surrender is honored.

Second Barons’ War 1264 AD: Likewise, Rule I of English War is confirmed: The English, lacking anyone else to surrender to, surrender to the English.

First War of Scottish Independence 1297-1328 AD: The English get raped by their neighbors and surrender Scotland to them. In the battle of Bannockburn, Robert the Bruce invented the can opener.

Second War of Scottish Independence 1332-1357 AD: The English simply don’t learn the lesson from their previous whipping and come back for more. As usual, they surrender.

Hundred Years’ War 1337-1453 AD: The English surrender to the French, losing all their possessions in France save Calais, which they had received as a dowry. The most remarkable episode of all was the surrender of the English before a stubborn peasant girl. The English are extremely ashamed of this surrender and will refer you to the battles of Poitiers, Crécy and Agincourt… which, strangely, didn’t prevent them from getting bum rushed out of France.

Wars of the Roses 1455-1485 AD: Two years after surrendering to the French, the English are left without a playmate and must resort to surrendering to themselves.

Anglo-Spanish war 1585-1604 AD: The English, for a change, surrender to the Spanish. They develop a taste for their victors’ sangria and paella, and proclaim the national custom of going to Ibiza and getting wasted.

Anglo-French War 1627-1629 AD: The English surrender to the French after a series of botched up naval expeditions. This great English tradition is nowadays known as “pulling a Dunkirk” and has proved to be a time-honored method to avoid total ridicule.

English Civil Wars 1639-1651 AD: The English fight each other, and it is uncertain which side will surrender to which. Finally, the ugliest contender, Oliver Cromwell, wins, and obtains the surrender of the cavaliers.

Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667 AD: The English surrender to the Dutch, a country a fraction of their size.

Third Anglo-Dutch War 1672-1674 AD: The English pull up their man-panties, only to get kicked by the Dutch once again. The English king considers planting tulips in Westminster.

Nine Years’ War 1688-1697 AD: England joins an attempted gangbang of France by a large coalition of European nations, but fails. Fortunately, the English get to apply Rule II of English Warfare, which consists in blaming others for their defeats, and attributing themselves their allies’ victories.

War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714 AD: Another attempted gangbang against France. The English, delighted to have a plethora of foreign flunkies to use as cannon fodder, send minimal amounts of troops and spend their time claiming others’ victories. The gangbang, however, fails, and the Austrian pretender renounces the Spanish throne.

War of Jenkins’ Ear 1739-1748 AD: The British forget their previous lesson about the Spanish, and, despite tremendous numerical superiority, get their asses handed to them by the Spanish at Cartagena de Indias: Over 10 British out of action for every Spaniard. The British manage to avoid surrender by reaching a vague settlement.

Seven Years’ War 1756-1763 AD: The British celebrate what is perhaps their first real victory against the French. Their ego grows accordingly.

American Revolutionary War 1775-1783 AD: The British get thrashed by a band of yokels with a little help from France and Spain. As a result, they surrender in Yorktown.

French Revolutionary Wars 1793-1802 AD: The British, along with their continental allies, are unable to get the French revolutionaries out of France. They retaliate by writing The Scarlet Pimpernel, a young ladies’ novel.

Napoleonic Wars 1803-1815 AD: The British decide to be cautious, and let their allies get killed for them in order to soften up Napoleon. After hundreds of thousands of Austrians, Russians, Prussians and Spaniards have died, they move in; after pulling a Dunkirk here and there, in a series of miraculous battles, they avoid their usual surrenders thanks to Spanish help in the Peninsula, as well as having their asses narrowly saved by the Prussians at Waterloo. The British, frustrated by their lack of heroism, proceed to develop some atrocious propaganda such as the Sharpe and Hornblower series.

Anglo-Afghan War 1839-1842 AD: The British decide to try the latest fashion of picking on weak, less modernized countries; this results in them fleeing from Afghanistan, pursued by an old man with a rifle from The Desert Song and his Afghan Hound, Lassie.

Crimean War 1854-1856 AD: The British honestly try to surrender, but are saved by the meddlesome French at Malakoff. They decided to celebrate, of all things, the Charge of the Light Brigade, probably one of the most absurd military cockups in history.

Anglo-Persian war 1856-1857 AD: The British claim a tie, and award several Victoria crosses for good measure.

The Pig War 1859 AD: An American farmer makes the British surrender the San Juan Islands. One of their most surprising surrenders to this day.

Anglo-Zulu War 1879 AD: The British are put to the test and succeed when faced with an opponent armed with sharp pieces of fruit. This is a fine example of the time-honored British tradition of colonial warfare.

First Boer War 1880-1881 AD: The British army surrenders to a rag-tag army of Boers.

World War I 1914-1918 AD: Thanks to French tenacity, the war goes surprisingly well; far too well, claims the British High Command. They therefore send Churchill to Gallipoli to get a nice surrender for their nation. Unfortunately, the ANZAC corps are not British and put up a heroic fight. British hopes for surrender vanish, and they must settle for a retreat.

Anglo-Irish War 1919-1921: The British surrender most of Ireland to the Irish; the shortage in potatoes causes a fish&chips famine nationwide.

World War II 1939-1945: After having pledged to help the French, the British take the “English way out” and pull a Dunkirk; this is made possible by the sacrifice of the French army at the battle of Lille. After returning to Blightey like whipped curs, they proceed to attack the Germans with their most powerful weapons: Songs like We’ll hang the Washing on the Siegried Line or The White Cliffs of Dover. These songs account for the piercing of over 100,000 German eardrums.
Likewise, the British decided to make a surrender à l’orientale, as it were, by surrendering 80,000 men in Singapore to the Japanese, and went for a stroll in North Africa where their army was chased by Rommel and a handful of determined Hitler Youths.
After a long, dreary period of listening to Churchill and Lord Haw Haw, the British are finally rescued by the Americans.

During the war, the English surrendered their supremacy at sea, which is nowadays being disputed by the Somali pirates and Canadian fishermen.

Suez Crisis 1956: When reprimanded by the Americans, the British, despite having achieved local superiority thanks to the Israeli and French, decide that it is wiser to surrender.

World War II (continued) 2005: Prince Harry, representing the British Army, dresses up as a nazi whilst surrounded by tarts, thereby surrendering to Hitler 60 years after the end of the war.

Today: The British are in a tight spot: Do they surrender to the United States by refusing to invade Iraq, or do they face an eventual surrender there as well? The British took the second way, and the long-expected surrender against the Iraqis looms larger by the minute. Unless – pardon me – you would prefer to refer to their surrender as a Dunkirk, or better still, glorious tactical retreat.

For finish : ugly men/women ,rotten teeth , shitty weather , english food WTF! Oie d’else

[…] (permalink) 20 reasons why English Hate the French | UK.iMaZiR (Insert signature […]

Sarahfrenchcanada - We call it the Norman invasion because, funnily enough, the invaders were Normans!! I believe they were the descendants of Viking invaders in France.

UKpride - you have an amusing way of looking at history. Why don’t you go visit some British WWII vets and tell them your viewpoint?

Ugly men and women with rotten teeth? My mistake, you don’t wear warped spectacles, you’re actually blind!

we’ll the french are more democratic and not much capitalistic than the british but the french have been the source informal things and we’ll the origin of fun. they have more strict religion and they are religious but still not the same because french men would have to make love to you many times to say that he loves you but Brits don’t need making love because there is always kissing but not sloppy kisses and wet ones. we’ll Brits are more formal and royal and still pro-monarchy but still they could be the best of friends. see like in canada the french and the english cooperate but let’s step out the question of that they live in a single country but let’s step in the statement that canada is culturally divided by french (romance) and english (anglo-saxon, germanic) but still look the accent marks are normal to see in the french and french loanwords and look at britain itself they teach french in school why because they’re really the best of friends you know. the best of enemies are always the best of allies in world wars 1 and 2 and maybe more conflicts to come and who am i to judge the french are free men, democratic and pro-unity in differences and the english we’ll speak a language almost french in tongue and principal loaning we’ll though some of the words are from greek and latin etc. the french are still the best of friends. end of question andend of debate. au revoir and cheer’ol.

So, I went to vagas, I know what happens in Vegas stays, but I must say, I did have the chance to be with a French man(22) he insisted to take a shower w me b4 we got “down and dirty” but couldn’t get his penis to work when it was time…
Leave it to the British “bastad”(25) as he liked to pronounce it to make my vegas trip worth wile.
*(clears throat) let’s just say that after those 2 AND 1/2 hours of the best rough love making I have ever had. Yum yum!! I’m completely mad ab British men now. Fucking love them…I mean, I bloody love them !!!!

Bloody, bloody, bloody love them!!

Lily - I imagine you need to wash your pussy. Go do it now quick.

I am English and my partner is French, we both live in England but regularly visit France to see his family and friends. We have been together nearly 4 years.

Everytime I have visited France I have been introduced to new and wonderful food, and people have been extremely helpful and considerate. Yes, the majority of these people were my partners family so perhaps this is a little bias! However I havent had a bad experience in France from other people.

The weather is beautiful and I do prefer swimming in the lakes, and visiting the beachs in France compared to England. There seems to be alot more freedom, and a sense of adventure.

However, there is alot of unemployment in France (I agree with this point on the list), which is why my partner came to England in the first place- He has a degree and could not find suitable work (not for decent pay like he deserved anyhow after studying for so many years) in France and wanted to start a new life after his father died of cancer.

I am very proud of being English and always will be Despite our problems, we are a strong country.

My partner is very loving, and very loyal. From past English partners I have had in the past, they have been decitful and liars. (Not that I am by any means judging all english men as this- this is my experience and my experience only).

The only negative point i will say is he can be very stubborn (like myself!) and once has made his mind up, that is it. He also rarely admits his faults, but realises this is something he needs to change!

He is also very proud of France, just as much as I am proud to be English and proud of England and its history. Why shoudlnt he be?

I disagree with many of the points mentioned and Im english! I know first hand, from being with a frenchman that he has been cleaner than my english partners- He would never dream of not having a shower every day, or not changing his underwear! He is extremely hygienic and very tidy- more so than me!

Also, he is a GREAT lover- however not very romantic, which we often laugh about, as the french are stereotypically known for their romance His sense of humour cracks me up everytime i see him- I have noticed the french have a different way of laughing to the english (as they donot pronounce “H” very often in their language and so often donot laugh like the english “HaHaHa”

I was surprised at the rising levels of obesity when i recently isited france- I have to admit that I always used to believe (or had the impression) that the french were slim- however on my travels recently to the south of france there were many that were overweight.This unfortunately is a problem worldwide however due to fast food.

I agree with another point also and that is that my partner will never admit that the English are better than them hehehe.. but why should he admit that? Or believe that? I would be wary of anyone who didnot support and love their own country.

To UK pride- your a fucking idiot all you have done is manipulated words to suit your own purpose you tool. My god we havent done bad if all we have done throughout history is surrender. Truth be told the whole world knows that the real cowards of the globe is the french.

the french surrendered to the the germans during world war 2 where as the english continued fighting until the end.

the english got canada where as the french could not even hold on to quebec.

the barclays premier league is better then the french league.

the french arent even proud of there own language they use all kind of english words like j’ai laisser mon auto dans le “parking”

the french dont have any good music

@jeremy

I think we borrowed more words from French than they do English. A whole heap more, actually…

I’m an American and I know I shouldn’t be in here in the first place but I was doing a project for my school on Europe. I came across this forum and well obviously read it and found it quite funny since I’ve been to both nations. Britain and British are just like Americans, work is life and they aren’t very attractive (I know I shouldn’t say that about Americans but it’s the truth). The French I must admit have way better looks and they seem to enjoy life a lot more. I’ve been met a lot of French girls when I visited France for 2 months. I have NEVER seen one without a good underarm shave or one that smelled bad… Ever honestly. Oh and the rising obesity rate… Does not even compare to the rising and (already existent) obesity rate in the USA or Britain.
The unemployment is the USA is almost the same that in France in 2009 and they have a lot less people under the poverty line than we do (idk how many Britain has). Also Britain was ranked 25th as places to live while France ranked 1st and the USA (I don’t remember).
Oh and history is that history… Idk why you Europeans don’t just let go… Good thing your governments are more like us… Thinking of the future. I’ve also noticed that the French don’t really care much about the British but you guys live to talk about France and the French…and then you go and buy hoses there … WTF ?

I’m an American. I had the priviledge of visiting both France and England, and loved them both. I love English humour (Are You Being Served?) and French music (Piaf, Becaud, Hardy). I threw out my entire wardrobe and bought ALL French clothes. Love their fashion. Paris was amazing, beautiful, clean, breathtaking. London was also impressive, but I liked Paris more. I also went to Poland to see the change. Warsaw was impressive, and I was amazed, really amazed, by beautiful Poland. Every country has something to offer. As for this battle between France and Britain, I love them both, but have to admit that I thought France was more impressive.

in most of these comments you’ll get a french person proudly declaring that it is, in fact, the English that seem to hate the French so passionately and unreasonably, and that the French are the ones that don’t seem to fussed by the whole thing.

One such french guy was so unfazed by this that he spent god knows how many hours creating a detailed and comprehensive chronicle of every single failing in English military history.

Now that’s some SERIOUS apathy

French military history

It has been very interesting hearing all of the French surrender and white flag and glass bottom navy jokes over the past few decades, and especially over the past few years. But is our perception of France’s military history correct? No. In fact, France has had a long, fascinating military history and its impact on world history, particularly military history, has been in great disproportion to its land mass and its population.

Consider that books such as “50 Battles that Changed the World” list fully 12 involving either the French or their ancestors (Gauls, Franks, Normans, etc.). “The Military 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Military Leaders of All Time” by LT Michael Lee Lanning includes 12 leaders who are French or their ancestors. In fact, one might make (or at least try to investigate as I may do) the following points:

France has had the most interesting military history of any nation in the world.
France has had more victories than any other nation in the world.
France has had more battles won than any other nation in the world.
France has more great battlefields than any other nation in the world.
France has made more innovations in warfare than any other nation in the world.
France has turned out more great military leaders than any other nation in the world.
France has won more wars single-handedly than any other nation in the world.
France has won more wars against great odds than any other nation in the world.
France has defeated more nations (some repeatedly) than any other nation in the world.
France has defeated more great powes (some repeatedly) than any other nation in the world.
France has been involved in more World Wars than any other nation in the world.

In this case, for France or for the French, I am using the history of the peoples of the area that is now modern France. So this would include the Celts, Gauls, the Gallo-Romans (to some extent, but not much since the Romans were overlords and Gaul was merely a province in the much greater Roman Empire), the Franks, the Normans and the French.

Though the name changes, they are still the same people over time though they have evolved over time. One can make the case that though the name has changed, the history of France is one of the longest and most continuous of any nation on earth other than possibly the great ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and India. Yet even those nations have undergone many name changes or have been identified with externally assigned names or have been ruled by outsiders. Consider the case of India, which we know of, of course, as India. But India knows itself, and has for thousands of years, as Bharat.

Well I’m Canadian …. And yes U.S.A is good but Canada is awesome too … (some are even Jealouss) I count myself lucky to know 2 languages !

~ Still working on my english though

Germany had a build up warmachine that no bordering country could have overcame. Even the US would have fallen to germany if it bordered it. It has nothing to with couragn but equipment and organisation and planning. Some english love for royalty has to do with a mirror affect and is a delusional grandeur. Their class system is of the ugliest in the world. France a continental europian country faced aggression and vulnerablity from alot of sides. The english was saved by the english channel and the stability meant progress. Much of the english invention build on french invention. I can confidently say was it not for continental wars france and germany would have advanced society much earlier. French can be arrogant and have chips on there shoulder but not more than other european countries. English also try to take credit for alot of inventions that was discovered earlier.

this is so stupid, why would anyone hate a whole nation? calm down

What about love and emotions? The UK has no love. It’s all about looks and careers and materialism. The French are much more generous and have a heart. Granted, a minority has more chances at suceeding in London than Paris however it seems London is all fake and all about fitting in. There really is no personality…love and true acceptance. It’s all about me me me and looking down at others on the tube. The French are more sincere and more open. Less robotic and judgmental.

I want to thank the Americans above for sticking up for France. When i lived in America you guys always were very nice and positive to me and loved my frenchness. The Brits didn’t and always tried to push me down. Although I’m grateful for the Brits bc they made me stronger and taught me a lot about being humble…i realized their culture is miserable. Its the young people and the foreigners that constitute the beauty of the UK.

There is hatred for France bc its EMOTIONS and SENSITIVITY which simply does not exist in England, its like asking an apple to be a banana, impossible !!!. Wherever someone has love and emotions and great sensitivity they will be envied and attacked. The English are more logical and think first and foremost with their logic whereas French have more of a “heart”. Both have their flaws.

The British have their own strength and I’m glad they are not like France. We need both. The English dont take themselves so seriously and have such a great sense of humor and they allow ppl from all over to come to their country and give everyone equal opportunity, esp. if you are from a third world country. Also, the Brits do not obsess over good looks and are more free to be themselves in a way and also I love how they are aknowledge women by saying “hi love, hi darling” etc.

I love how the English are not as negative as the French etc.
but at the end of the day the French have a natural happiness and sensitivity and emotions which the English can never have - sure they make up for it in many other ways but its just not there naturally.

To be honest I’m fed up of both those cultures, I am going to Southern Italy or Bali…somewhere different, maybe Greece. Fed up of Westerners and their selfish attitudes.

I am Haitian I am so glad in a way that my culture has French pass compared to an English. I like so many things about the French and there country France I would not never want to visit England period. My son father is English,French,Austerian,German,Scottish,Irish,Welsh,American and Canadian. Out of all those Countries his ancestors came from I do not care to ever visit England maybe my son may want to visit some day. But I do not wish to ever and our son will be learning French which is an amazing lanuage. The French people need to spread the beautiful lanuage world wide.

The British empire controlled an area spanning almost half the world.At what time in history did the French war machine achieve this ? You aim to be equal but will always live in the shadow of Great Britain. You really did not forgive us for burning Jean of Arc in 1431. Next time you want saving,just give us a shout or wave the White flag.

Why what bullshit

Winston Churchill himself is half Hugenot French from his mother side Jennie Jerome

Franklin D Rooseveld was half French on his mother side Sara Ann Delano.

The best WW2 fighter pilot for Germany for of French Hugenot ancestory

Lothar_von_Arnauld_de_la_Perière was the most successful german uboat commander of the german military and is of french heritage.

Hans-Joachim Marseille was on the best ace pilots for german in WW2.

If it was not for Charlemagne whole Europe would probably speak Arabian now and lived under Sharia law.

A guy of french ancestory perfected the machine to it’s form today.

No who says the French are not warriors?
Screw all the Franco

If the French had a build up warmachine like germany it would have stopped Hitler in it’s tracks.

Mistake made in above comment.
I meant screw all the Francophobes
All those people that hate the french for shitty reason can go fck themselve.
