Why are the French good at protesting but useless at war?

At some point (soon, I hope) our younger generations are going to realise that lazily harking back to the past and droning on about the 'blitz spirit', foreign stereotypes and things like 'British engineering' has no actual value. There is nothing particularly exceptional about the Britain of today and we are going to have to work bloody hard to build a new reputation that the rest of the world might actually respect and care about.

I agree and couldn't have worded it better, it's a sad fact, I do think that the UK will some time in the future be back up there with the best as it doesn't have another option other than sink

Protesting actually changes government policy in France - over here politicians seem more worried about reactions on social media than they are actual street protests.
