Congratulations Bob Geldof for finally standing up and proving to the entire world once an dfor all that's he's a utter buffoon.
It seems the foul-mouthed, badly dressed, glory-hunting Irishman has finally lost the plot (though naming your child Fifi Trixabel should have been an early clue) after suggesting that English protestors against the G8 Summit in Scotland should get in boats and cross the English Channel to pick up French comrades for a huge march against wealth to be held in Scotland in early July.
By all accounts he told BBC news: "... he wanted Sail 8 to recreate Dunkirk as part of a "continental adventure", and urged people to sail across the channel to pick up their "French cousins", so they could join in the demonstrations."
RECREATE DUNKIRK ????
So, here's the plan Bob. We'll dress a load of Germans up in Nazi uniforms, ship a contingent of Brits over to sid huddled on beaches while said Germans drop thousands and thousands of pounds of ammunition on them, lose most of the Brits and motor on home with the survivors ready to take the Hun on on another day.
What a fucking cretin.
Dunkirk was a wartime rescue operation *NOT* a jolly sailing event so a load of Frogs can hop up and down the streets of Scotland stinking of garlic and wearing offensive berets during the hours of daylight. To make matters worse (history lesson approaching) Geldof is pictured in a rowing boat. Now, at the time of Dunkirk the British flotilla which set off to Dunkirk was referred to as the "little boats" because many of the volunteers that offered their vessels to help out were coastal fishing boats and the like. As far as I can tell no rowing boats were involved in the operation. After all, how many badly wounded servicemen can you fit in a rowing boat and still power the damned thing all the way to France and back - I bet the answer's "not many".
Still, what do you expect from a washed-up "pop star" who has a mortal fear of scissors and soap (maybe this accounts for the French connection!)
