French cops gas heroes By DAVID WOODING

BRITISH war heroes on a religious pilgrimage told last night of their shock when French police attacked them with tear gas in a hotel bar.

Scores of servicemen and their guests - some in wheelchairs - were stunned as 30 cops threw three gas canisters at them in the town of Lourdes, renowned for miracle cures.

One member of the official delegation of Catholic soldiers said: “All hell broke loose.

“People ran out coughing and choking. Some braved the fumes to help those in wheelchairs get out.

“They were in a terrible state afterwards. It all happened without a single word of warning.”

Police chiefs in Lourdes — visited by hundreds of thousands each year for its healing waters — said the 2am incident happened because the pilgrims were breaking a local by-law that bans late-night boozing.

But one soldier said: “Nobody told us to go to bed or keep the noise down. One minute everyone was having a convivial time and the next we were under attack.

“The whole episode was a disgrace. We were on a religious pilgrimage, yet we were treated like football hooligans.”

David Kelly, chaplain of the Royal Military College at Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, added: “There was no reason for this sudden onslaught.

“Everyone was celebrating the end of a very special trip when the police burst in and mayhem broke out.”

Heroes of Iraq and other conflicts were among 250 pilgrims enjoying a nightcap at the Hotel La Solitude in the town in the French Pyrenees.

They included a group from The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, senior clergy plus sick and disabled visitors.

One soldier said: “We were all singing away quite merrily.

“It was a disgrace the way the cops acted. You’d think we were rioting.

“Why couldn’t they just ask us to keep the noise down or tell us all to head off to bed first? But nobody said a word.”

Lourdes police commissioner Didier Ribeyrolle admitted the use of tear gas was “inappropriate”

But he said: “The hotel showed a lax attitude to our by-laws. Some patrons may have been shocked by the methods used, but the rules must be respected.”

Apparently on the original plans of the tunnel, circa 1800's, the British engineers had designed it in such a wat that there would be turn cocks installed on the English side. Should a French army attempt to invade England via the tunnel, the tunnel could be flooded, thereby, drowning them all.

Aye - Andy

In that case lets call in wessex water and drown all the bleeders as was said before let it fill up with grockles frist

You want to go to Normandy

The Normans detest the french. This amazed me at first but its true.

Lets face facts the frogs are an arrogant bunch of ar*ewipes. They seem to think that they are still a world power. And people will listen to there pathetic drivel. If sommut does not suit them they ignore it or ban it. British Beef a case in point. And this from a country where they still urinate in public.

Apparently they buy the least amount of hygiene products of any western country. How to clear a french bar, lob a fresh bar of soap into the place. and then follow up with some deodorant with the cap off.

I quite like the Normans. Although they tend to keep going on about 1066 for some reason or other. When I pointed out that the Bayeux tapestry was made in England they got a wee bit shirty.

After reading that british war graves in france had been graffitied with

"take home your trash its poluting our soil"

nothing shocks me now

and b.liar feels we have "important cultural ties" with this country and should serve them in federal europe

Having been a confirmed francophile for some time I bit the bullet and visited two years ago.

I have now been 5 times and going again in a few weeks. I have found the people to be polite, friendly and helpful, the shops and restaraunts a pleasure, where children are made welcome and encouraged.

The roads are quiet, and the towns we have visited clean, with the pavements free of chewing gum and dog crap and litter.

The water is drinkable, the health service efficient and public transport a delight to use.

One small example was a toy my son bought which he lost the following day. He went to buy another and the trader (not the original) offered him another, for free.

The children were also offered sweets whenever we went into a sweet shop or market and every cup of coffee we bought came with a choccy or a biccy, or both. Even the McDonalds staff were helpful with them serving you and bringing the food to you.

Before we judge other nations best we have a good look at what we have become.
