We would be nothing without each other, we are a huge part of each others national identity and history and we will not stand idly by while terrorists attack. It was the same after 9/11 with the American National anthem playing in London and Paris and all around the world!
@@Morgsy- I wasn’t talking about the content of the video. The cringey comment above tries to make out that there’s a deeper connection between the UK and France that brings us closer together. I’m quite cynically saying that this sort of mumbo jumbo is nonsense and it all boils down to geopolitics, not some nonsensical semi-devine sense of camaraderie.
Over my about to be 26 years if life, I have seen countless things. From the 9/11 attacks, to the Paris bombings, and many other events, I have stood and watched those countries with sadness. I still remember that Friday. I did not have the luck of being there, but I was watching the video in German. I stood up, right hand over my heart, and too the best of my ability, sang La Marseille. To my French brothers, though our history is bitter, our future is sweet.
If there is one country that will always have France's back, it's us from the United Kingdom, we've had a long journey together, 100s of years of history together, and now we are best friends! We love you and always will, we support you and you are our brothers! Vive la France!!!
there was a point in time where almost every french and English king went to war, and now they are like the best of allies and the people of the two nation are like one nation people.
Sorry, but every time I hear "Le Marseillaise" I weep. So powerful. The best national anthem. I also hear, after the conclusion.. "This cafe is to be closed at once!" "But I have no reason to close it." "Find one." (blows whistle) "This cafe is to be closed at once. I'm shocked! Shocked to discover gambling going on here!" "Your winnings, sir." "Thank you, very much." Vive La France!
The solidarity that we showed to the French back then makes me proud to be British. What makes me rather less proud to be British is the fact that if Charlie Hebdo was a British publication based in London then those journalists would not have been murdered, they would have been arrested. The Charlie Hebdo cartoons are illegal in this country as the UK is not a free country, unlike France.
Disgusting that the 130 innocent victims of the Paris attacks get a token minute of silence on a single occasion, yet a violent career criminal, unlawfully killed in the USA gets 1 minutes silence every time a football match is played in England. That is up to 36 minutes every single week and it has been going on for months now.
This is what it should all be about. Not stupid identity politics that has entered are whole system. We should all be proud of where we come from and each countries separate cultures. God Save the Queen and La Marseillaise, The French people deserve so much more that the left wing idiot that runs it now.
@@tonkerdog1243 Really I think you completely missed the point I said is this the same brexit Britain we live in you know the Britain that believed an idot that we was going to be invaded by immigrants and yet there we are standing shoulder to shoulder with out allies get it now
@@rowleybirken8564 If you added a few full stops etc, it would make it easier to read your poorly penned piece. Immigration was not the primary reason people voted out, more control over immigration certainly was. But that’s always missed by remainers as it’s inconvenient to their narrative. Research Matt Goodwin who is an expert on populism and Brexit, and also a remainer.
@@tonkerdog1243 So typical responce attacking grammer and immigration was the main topic but keep believing different the country was promised money for the NHS never happening the country was told byy Farage and Robinson and others like that we were going to be invaded by fighting age Turks and Syrians the country go on deny it deny this this why was Johnson a remainer until he seen a path to the PM's job so he could screw the country up litrally the last word on it with you you're obviously a brexshiteer and I can't be bothered even when all is crumbling around us you still deny YOU fucked up
@@rowleybirken8564 to be fair, you never made a point in your first comment,Just because we are out of the EU doesn't mean we wouldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with country's of the EU.
@@mikesaunders4775 A lot of people at least learned a little bit of french at school and have been exposed to enough french words that people can probably work out the pronunciation. Plus by hearing the french sing it you can probably work it out by ear, even sub consciously.
@@silverfreckledsky618 I am one of those that learned 'un petit peur' at school, which of course is most people, the point however is that few people acquire, let alone retain a sufficient knowledge to be able to converse with a French-speaking native. Do you for example, know the words of the Marseillaise?, a long and complex historical ballad describing the bloodthirsty aftermath of an intervention by a relief column of forces sent out from Marseille,. My feeling is that the England fans did as I would have, and hummed along to a rousing and very well known piece of music at a time of reflection and sadness.
@@mikesaunders4775 funnily enough, I did a whole term on Marseille and it’s deep and brutal meaning rooted in blood shed and propaganda to a point t. I have also experienced enough French through my life that I have a pretty good understanding of the pronunciation. Plus because there are people who are French natives singing the song is as humans can copy what they are doing as i said before subconsciously. Yes I don’t disagree that people didn’t hum but after a few words you can probably give the words ago given that they were on the screen. Furthermore I never said that they had to know conversational french but just enough understanding to replicate the pronunciation
