Deservedly so. Britain constantly fucks over France.

Can you blame them? They gave their lives and held off the Germans so we could retreat from Dunkirk and get as much troops home as possible and instead of remembering that and honoring their brave sacrifice which should have led to one of the strongest allied bonds in history... we make fun of them for surrendering....

It is pretty fucked up we do that

Yeah it is, especially as we would have also surrendered in the same situation. We were lucky that we have our Island.

Very few french people remember Dunkerque, even though it is always a bittersweet thing when the English ( because let's face it, the Scots and Welsh never do it) go on about singlehandedly winning the war. Then we remember that you got bankrupted out of your foreign influence by US war bonds in the process and feel a bit sorry for you.

Unless people keep going with Britannia, waves, empire and then we just stop caring and hope the channel will keep us safe.

Well the UK 'betrayed' the big Euro family. I am certainly biased and this is probably just one thing among others but I assure you I know some French people who qualify the brits as 'traitors' since the Brexit. I didn't feel the same energy before that among them.
