That didn’t take long …. or much.
Just when you think there is no one left for France to surrender to, they get very creative and surrender to …. (drum beat) themselves!
It’s really stunning.
I’m looking at these pictures and the people in them look healthy and capable of working. They are certainly healthy and energetic enough to riot for days on end. They are capable of looting and running down tourists to rob.
