In an unprecedented show of European friendship and solidarity, England's esteemed representatives across the channel have been busy beating seven shades of shit out of anyone unlucky enough to commit the double atrocity of being foreign, and in their general vicinity.
Possibly exarcebated by the fact that the gendarmerie national seem more trigger happy with the tear gas than your average Holywood SWAT team, our red faced squadron of peace envoys are providing ammunition for the Leave campaign by ensuring that no rational member of British society will want to be seen dead in Europe anytime in the near future.
From tackling passing pensioners, to assaulting a wheelchair user, the footage from France has been genuinely shocking - far beyond the usual clashes between hardcore fans seem at international tournaments.
Our fellow (for the time being) Europeans over in the east have clearly also not covered themselves in glory - particularly as the Russian media have been egging them on at every opportunity. It seems that, much like Eurovision (albeit with more violence, and less sequins) the Euros have become an opportunity for nations to fight out their underlying rivalries on a global stage. No wonder the European dream is looking increasingly fragile.
