# I'm interested as to who would benefit if we did leave the EU.
They must have some pretty solid reasons other than not liking the French.

# God Fuck the French
If we left the EU we could invade France and take back the territory that used to belong to England. From Calais, through Normandy, all the way down the coast to the Pyranees. All the lands of the Plantagenets at the height of their power, with Scotland and Wales added on to boot.

THEN we could make Europe tremble.

# I think it's tradition to invade Poland first.

# Nah, only if you're German
and even then you can go through Belgium instead. We've got a proud history of going in through Normandy.

# re: Treaty of Troyes.
Though the French Crown passed to Henry V, England and France were to be ruled as separate nations, with neither having precedence over the other's customs or laws.

# That's absolutely fine
All we need to do is redefine the borders of "France" such that it returns to the Ile de France and loses suzerainity over Normandy and the Atlantic coast. It can negotiate with Germany and Spain over who has ownership of current-day South-West France. So long as there's a polity called "France" which is identifiably the descendent of the "France" that signed the treaty, all will be fine.

# Why would anybody invade France baffles me.
It's full of French.

# France without French can be a nice place
I know, i live there.

# Sadly, there's no shortage of people
who'd overturn European labour laws as quickly as they could, on the basis that it's the right of a free-born Englishman to be worked every hour god sends for a pittance.
