// My point exactly. Though I voted 'Remain' I now want this mess to be sorted asap so that we can get on with plans. The uncertainty is much worse than a clear decision one way or the other.// eddie
funny - this occurred during the Dreyfus affair - 1895-1900 in France
[ yeah yeah a hundred Abers automatically post or 'quip' comically again : " Dray-who den ? who dat den? " ]
the supporters divided into Dreyfusistes, Dreyfusards and Dreyfusiens
which was a spectrum from
Dreyfus is innocent - we want justice ( sorry joostees) no matter what
towards including the govt falling
towards
Dreyfus should be settled probably innocent but this is destabilising the Third Republic and it is about time it was settled
to the other end of the spectrum
Frack Dreyfus - let him out or not - the political chaos is such that the govt may fall and there is even MORE chaos - oo-la-la [officiel]
and zat may explain how the President de la Republique rang up Mme Dreyfus ( nobile probably) and said - madame, if the chaos goes on - the Rpublic itself may be in danger !
and she said o OK I wont make a fuss then
and as 3T might say .......... ( true)
