The French are more than a little touchy about their language...

Maybe they'll block the tunnel and ferry ports, and air traffic control go on strike (yet again) to stop les rosbif going to watch Euro 2016.

Hope not. We've had Zombies vs Cockneys, next it's Hooligans v Terrorists.

That should be in our conditions for Britremain

• English the official language of Europe (all roadsigns, documents, radio broadcast etc)
  
• They all have to switch to driving on the left (proper like)

The Welsh would love that.....

S And if Europe is going to become a sovereign nation then it will need a single language.

True, but the Swedish Government doesn't have to put up with institutions and law requiring Swedish like the French have.

The French are more than a little touchy about their language coming well behind English in widespread use, they also get very upset about the adoption of Anglo words into everyday French. The Internet being essentially in English has them in a permanent state of frenzy.
English is the defacto lingua-franca of the World and there's bugger all the French can do about it.

French Euro 2016 team's English anthem criticised - BBC News

Someone should point out to them that the lyrics are not in English but in American. And if Europe is going to become a sovereign nation then it will need a single language.

Isn't this their equivalent of those the England team put out for major tournaments? So makes sense they'll be in English if they want wider coverage and therefore sales. Same as Abba not singing in Swedish.

My friend says he gets a boner hearing French lasses speak

[JozefBlofeld]

Could you imagine the England football team singing 'Dieu sauvez la reine'? It'll take 'em decades to learn French, so the language is quite safe.

rubbish cover as well.
