That's not a phrase I would use; being something of a traditionalist I prefer the original '85 version of 'Cheese-eating surrender monkeys', and would have used it had I intended such to be the message.
Sorry to disagree but there is something for the French to surrender about - they are currently fishing in waters where their entitlement rests on UK membership of the EU - it seems they are trying to leverage that right into the futureThat's not a phrase I would use; being something of a traditionalist I prefer the original '85 version of 'Cheese-eating surrender monkeys', and would have used it had I intended such to be the message.
In fact, and seeing as there isn't, currently anyway, anything for the French to surrender about, I was referring to the Gallic penchant for over-dramatic sulks and mockery - and it's a very funny accent in the film too.
Sadly true but, currently, they have every right to fish in our waters if they want and are qualified to.

Jan 21st means nothing.
No, it was brought about because of France's surrendering in the past, but was used then for your reason.
For why? NATO only deals with exterior agression, internal squabbles are for the participants to sort out.

Edit: can you see brave President Macron having another tantrum and threatening to leave NATO now?
What war?!!!I just paid for a little part at a uk tractor dealer with my french card - I thought did cross my mind “will I be able to do this when the war breaks out?”
Sad isn’t it and I’ll bet Farage is laughing his head off
FFS, when 'Dave' Cameron mentioned WW3 and Mr Interesting Tusk the end of Western civilisation coming about because of Brexit, even they didn't believe it. Stop being such a drama queen, there will or won't be a deal and trade will carry on either more or less as before, but a bit differently.

No, apparently it was only first used in April1995 in an episode of the The Simpsons.No, it was brought about because of France's surrendering in the past, but was used then for your reason.

I very much doubt shots will be fired, nets will be cut, well of course if that's allowed for environmental reasons, also boats will be boarded and those on board arrested.Who said ww 3. Whose being a drama queen?
Fish wars though
I did say to mrs cz, “I wonder how the neighbours will behave to us when shots are being fired over french fishing boats?”
“Maybe you need to learn Czech quick!”
Many a true word...
Yep it was first used then (note my edit) but was brought about because of France's record of surrender. Had the French not had such a record, it could not have been brought about, or used.

Yes, the first part had occurred to me too, there is an EC liability at law and, arguably, a British moral liability to reimburse them. I would have no problem with a 50 / 50 split of the cost as a good will gesture, but wouldn't offer any more.
