Funny, Brits say "The crowd are going wild", so why is "la France are" any different?

Svartalf may correct me, but I imagine that in order to use "are" he'd need to say "les Francais" or something like that.

La France is a reference to the country as an individual.

It is like saying "France are going mad", or, "Canada are going mad", not by reference to Canadians as a group, but to the individual state itself.

Just my two cents, and happy to be corrected...

Well, at the invitation of the government they are helping to stop a bunch of islamist lunatics from moving south and imposing Sharia law etc. on the rest of the country.

For me, go France!

Here we go. We've been asked to help. Just transport aircraft for now but I expect we will be evacuating French troops off their embassy before long

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Don't worry, folk, Australia today promised to send aid.

A second-hand LandRover, a carton of Fosters, and a crate of bush hats, I believe...

No worries, mate! :tup:
