Is this the correct decision

[Epping]

No handshake, no French citizenship

I for one say Yes

 

[Jgrainger]

Absolutely spot on.... Not a chance this would happen here. The French seem to be waking up.

 

[PinzaC55]

My reasonable head says they have included the handshaking thing to exclude Muslims.
My atheist head says religion is a load of smeg so tough shit.

 

[Alan BStard]

Quite correct.

 

[MackemBob]

Of course it’s the right decision. Wouldn’t want to be shaking hands with a French official.

 

[Deleted member 559]

Ballsy decision, would be outrage over here.

kinda what i was just about to type... you said it better though...

 

[becs]

Yes. If people want to live in France, it's fair to expect them to follow their social norms.

You’d be gutted when it came to renewal time man.

Do you work in the passport office?

 

[MackemBob]

Do you work in the passport office?

No, but if you need a passport pm me.

I dont think there would be. I'm a bit of a lefty, and i think that is a good decision. How can she, or anyone, complain about that? The culture of any place is infinitely more imporant than religion. Also, isnt it social convention in france for kisses on cheeks ? She'd probably pass out

Especially when he’s finished with the upper ones, and wanders to the left and right lower.

I'm a lefty too. But read the Apu thread mate. It'll show you some people think everything is racist

Oui Shirley

 

[Hoon]

Tough one as the French and muslims are both sworn enemies of a true Englishman.
