Anger as Field of Fallen Heroes Becomes Tip

Forever England? Loos battleground 1915 and 2004

A French battleground where 8,000 British soldiers lost their lives in the First World War is being turned into a rubbish dump.

Bulldozers are already desecrating the human remains which have lain undisturbed since the Battle of Loos in 1915.

The bones of the dead are being churned and brought to the surface.

The timing of the move, just days before nations honour their war heroes on Remembrance Sunday, is a slap in the face for ex-servicemen and their families.

The news will dismay military personnel who have launched a massive new Web site - www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk - detailing all the British and Commonwealth soldiers who served in the Great War.


Already a campaign has been launched to stop the plans for a rubbish dump.

Richard Lane, historian for the Royal Leicester Regiment, which lost more than 500 men in the bloody assault, said: "It is utter desecration.

"If this was happening in England, the people responsible would be arrested."

The Battle of Loos raged from September 25 to October 19 at Auchy les Mines, near Loos in northern France.

Thousands of soldiers showed incredible courage as they went "over the top" to march on a heavily armed German hillock.

More than 60,000 infantrymen, among them Rudyard Kipling's son John, were killed, injured or taken prisoner. In all, 22 Victoria Crosses were awarded for heroism.

So many bodies were lost in the bloody quagmire, the field has become a mass grave to the missing.

Who about the French changing the colours of their National Flag to plain white. After all. they wave that flag at the very thought of war. A real nation of cowardly, onion packing, garlic munching, harbour hogging, gay boys!!

The Maginot Line was erected by the French along their Eastern--and most vulnerable--frontier, with the intent of protecting France from invasion by Hitler's Germany. A line of staggered defensive forts, anti-tank measures, and lookout posts, the Maginot Line was well-constructed and physically very difficult to traverse. Unfortunately, the Line was not complete: two major holes existed, the first along the Belgian border extending to the English Channel, and the second across the wide swath of forested land, the Ardennes, considered too thick for forces to pass through. At the start of World War II, anticipating an affront from the Germans, the French banked on Hitler's army attacking from the north, through the unprotected Belgian border. The majority of French forces were stationed in and around Belgium, with a paltry few stationed at the seemingly invulnerable Ardennes. Hitler split his army into two parts, sending some troops to Belgium, but the majority to the Ardennes. German forces broke through weak French defensives at Ardennes, and in a matter of days cut across France to trap the rest of the French troops near Belgium. The supposedly impenetrable Maginot Line had failed, and France fell to the Germans.

And that concludes our history lesson for today. Not only are the French cowardly, cheese eating surrender monkeys, they're stupid.

As if to underline their lowliness did you see their carry on with Arafat? Is there a worse sight than those slimey b a s t a r d s  fawning over the coffin? Anthems, salutes, full guard, cheering crowd - ALL FOR A MAN WHO MURDERED THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT ISRAELIS.


His blunders and corruption brought death and poverty to his own people.


I REPEAT, THE FRENCH ARE A LOATHSOME RACE.
