[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & total & entire point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

FRENCH:    la perfide Angleterre...   ‡

FRENCH:    la perfide Albion...   ‡‡

FRENCH:  L’Angleterre, ah, la perfide Angleterre, /  'L'Angleterre, ah, la perfide Angleterre, / que le rempart de ses mers rendoit inaccessible aux Romains, / la foi du Sauveur y est abordée.  ‡‡‡

FRENCH:    Attaquons dans ses eaux la perfide Albion.  ‡‡‡

          

      ‡)  Perfidious England.  

NOTE: one of two stock 19^th c. French expressions [see below], dating from the 18^th. c. British disavowel of the French Revolution, which had sought to split the difference between a British Consitutional monarchy, & the new Democracy in America, & used as a journalistic short-hand for any diplomatic disputes between the English & the French... The English were so disliked by Europeans in the 19^th c. that the terms became popular in Portugal after the British Ultimatum of 1890; & the Germans also used the term, saying it in French, as they two had rising diplomatic tensions with Britain. & also refering to the Treaty of Limerick of 1691, ending the war between the R.C. Jacobites & Wm. of Orange’s loyal English forces, initially giving Irish Catholics property rights, as well as religions freedom, & to carry arms, but repudiated in 1695 by the Penal Laws... Such are the Pommie Prot’ bastard motherfuckers... Actually, this shit goes back to the 14^th  c.   & this has had a revival with this brave new post-Brexit world this that has such Tories in it, esp. in France, & in Spain, which has to deal with the Gibraltar clusterfuck ;

    ‡‡)  Perfidious Albion.  — see above

  ‡‡‡)  England, oh perfidious England, / Shielded against the Romans by her ocean ramparts,/ Now receives the true faith.

‡‡‡‡)  Let us attach perfidious Albion in her waters.  — Attributed to French-Spanish playwright Augustin Louis de Ximénès, in a 1793 poem, L'Ère des Français
