Is it possible to build a cannon powerful enough to fire someone over the channel?

  1. How does being French change any of this complaints?  lol. 

  2. willing to bet that this lad speaks a grand total of 0 foreign languages – just like the rest of the self-hating brits who moan about people not speaking foreign languages abroad

  5. I think they did something along those lines in an episode of Top Gear. Although it was a trebuchet instead of a cannon

  7. Is there anything worse than a three quarter zip, self hating, middle class, “man of the people” telling everyone how bad England is? I bet he’s had a life of comfort that most would dream of.

    NB. Lo so che lui non ha imparato cazzo nulla di lingua straniera. Cretina deficiente

  9. I like how none of them even considered French as an option.

  10. He’s not wrong though is he?

    You’re a bunch of horrible cunts.

  12. Least self-hating Brit. Unironically.

    No one hates on the UK as hard as Brits do.

  15. Their process was lacking, they almost had it. They talked about German because it would be controversial.

    And then none of them said “so what would that be then? Belgian? Or pehaps…”

    And it was sitting right there.

  16. knowing anything but English is useless for the average person

  18. Could be self loathing, or maybe he grew up abroad. I say some of these things as a Brit, but I grew up in South America. Despite my accent, I’m not really British. But its a bit sad for someone who grew up here to say those things.

  20. What unites the Fr*nch and Br*tish is how much we hate ourselves.

  21. Fuck me. I honestly was sick in my mouth a little hearing the actual answer. Wishing to be German would be bad enough, but French? Dear God…

  23. Luckily the French are known to be multilingual. They speak Snail, Baguette, Baret and Frogsass fluently. Good choice Barry.

  27. You can hear the Toff wannabism in his voice, the cretin.

  28. British are the biggest wankers in Europe (except russia)

  29. Hmm do hate England but also, crucially,

    🎵🎵 I DONT WANNA BE FRENCH 🎵🎵

  30. The “Grosser Gustav” railway Cannon could fire a 1.7 t projectile over a distance of 47 kilometres. The narrowest distance of the canal is about 36 kilometres.

    So yes – we could fire about 17 Brits in one go.

    Edit: whoops – I thought I was on the theydidthemath sub-reddit

    Ü

  32. Cannon seems somewhat inefficient when you already have the Chunnel.

  33. Young people with critical thinking are the real hope for the future.😉

  35. don’t tell anyone, but I visited England and loved it! AND I also loved the English people.
