Well, if you can't admit you're wrong I guess that's the next best thing. Anticipating your next input, or output or whatever. Have kazoo on standby.
Hugh? Likes sausages? You must know him....his father's big in Poland?

That you Hugh? Tell your dad to stay away from the bunker today....sorry, message might be a bit late.
The best part about threads like these is you get to see people's true colours.

I dont know if Le Pen wouldve made France better or worse but i do know that Macron is the same old. Nothing is changed since 2002 and wont under Macron either, Not only he was Hollande's finance minister but previously he was a Rothschild banker.
Good indication of things not changing is when Obama and current president of France congratulate you. Add to that Merkel, EU chief, Head of NATO and the rest of globalist elite.
If people like how France was ran, its economic and social status during the last 14 years and are ok with all the terrorist attacks, then this will make them happy. More of the same.
But for those who are not happy with the status quo and still voted for Macron, well then they deserve what they get.

and in the end was anything really changed?
There's been terrorist attacks on and off in Europe all over since the 70s. It's managed just fine. The French will be fine.
That's quite a silly comment.
A distant family relation was a guy called Bobby Sands. He was the first IRA hunger striker to die. He was a Protestant.
The one time Chief of Staff for the IRA was a guy called Seán Mac StÃ*ofáin, born John Edward Drayton Stephenson in Leytonstone, London, his father was English, his mother an Ulster Protestant from East Belfast.
Google it if you don't believe me.
The IRA didn't discriminate based on religion, they were politically motivated, not religiously motivated.
Similar situition the first time around and for hundreds of years before that. The fight for independence was lead by people like Wolfe Tone, Henry Joy McCracken, Charles Stewart Parnell, Edward Fitzgerald and others who lead the United Irishmen movement. In fact most of the United Irishmen were Presbyterians with very few Catholics. These were the direct descendants of today's political parties in Ireland.
Even Protestant writers, poets and actors got into the act. For example WB Yeats was a prominent Republican.
Another interesting point is that la Quince Brigada in the Spanish civil war were predominately Irish, made up of both Protestant and Catholic vollenteers from both the north and south of Ireland.
The average person in Ireland had very little to fear from the IRA
I went to Queens in Belfast in the 80's. Never felt threatened because or my "Religon"
But what would I know. I have an engineering degree with a minor in Irish History
