IN turbulent times, one 82-year-old is bucking modern trends of racial and xenophobic hatred by reserving his ire for one specific group: the French.
Grandfather-of-six Bill McKay, who was born long after the Napoleonic Wars, has cast aside suggestions he reframe his bigotry against those of a particular colour or religion because he feels it is his patriotic duty as an Englishman to loathe anyone called Pierre.
He said: “Those unwashed, onion-wearing, Gauloises-smoking bastards turn my stomach, and they always have. Give me an Afghan or a Kurd any day.
“The papers are always going on about small boats, but why are they coming here? To escape the laziness and sexual licentiousness of those Frog bastards, and who can blame them? We should flood the Chunnel.”
Asked how his inspirational flame of hatred for our continental neighbours burns so bright, Bill explained that it is because they are like us but different and their chips are too thin.
He continued: “With a Cambodian bloke you know where you stand. The French? You never know when they’ll offer you what seems like a normal sausage but it’s got garlic in.
“I refuse to support any party that recognises France as a nation. Farage? No better than Pétain as far as I’m concerned. Brexit didn’t go far enough.
“We should evict them from their embassy and turned it into a shelter for homeless veterans. It’s time we looked after our own, not those Camembert-cramming cocks.”
