‘Vulgar’ Beeb series gets up Frogs’ noses

THERE are probably worst things in the world to be compared to than food.

Some scurrilous people still call German people “krauts” because of their love of sauerkraut, that truly vile dish of fermented cabbage which is oddly favoured over there.

And the French love to refer to us Brits as “rosbif” – after our fondness for a decent roast beef dinner on Sundays ( perhaps at a carvery, and with plenty of gravy, obviously).

Demented

In return, of course, there are people here who have a go back at our Gallic cousins by calling them “frogs” after their demented desire to suck the flesh off the bones from the legs of small, croaking, pond- based reptiles.

But what’s really getting up their noses on the other side of the Channel right now is a new BBC TV drama about Marie Antoinette, their last queen before the French Revolution.

Outraged garlic- munchers over there have branded the Beeb’s production as being “obscene”, “vulgar”, “aberrant”, and “stupid”. Which is all very woke, considering it was the Frogs THEMSELVES who sliced Marie’s head off at a public guillotine beheading in 1793.

Bunch of Henri Lecontes.

BRIT’S NOT ENOUGH

THEY spend months scurrying around windblown coastal forests quite literally waiting for their boat to come in, and then bugger off out again, with them now on board, heading for UK shores.

But before then, they’ve been living in ragged tents in unpoliced camps run by criminal gangs, drug dealers, and people traffickers, and all as the weather grows increasingly wintery.

All that changes when Blighty bound, though.

Halfway across the Channel, they are picked up by either our laughable Border Force or put- upon RNLI lifeboats, and then escorted here, the land of milk and honey, and put up for free while the rest of us are skint and getting skinter. But it’s not good enough, apparently. Even the illegal migrants are woke now, complaining that a former military site is not up to their exacting standards, which is presumably a 5- star suite at the Ritz?

We have an ancient Anglo- Saxon retort to this, readers: F** k. Right. Off.
