Let me be the first to say that there is inevitably going to be some kind of French connection to this attack on Taiwan's President just prior to the weekend election. The Chinese connection is even more obvious. Think about it. Who invented fireworks. That's right. China. Who has a history of interfering in Taiwan's elections. That's right. China.

But we all know the French are somehow involved too. In protest I am going to consume as many French products as possible this weekend to try and prevent the French themselves from enjoying them. Selfless, I know.

Actually, yes, it is French related, but not only, as my research has shown that the plot was much deeper than that.

But I correctly predicted the fireworks, even if, from 2,000 kilometres away, you cannot expect a full accuracy.

Not a chance for the French products, we have been mass-producing them in underground plants in Iraq for ages, and our stocks can last a few dynasties.

You can't be serious. Taiwan has a history of inner-country violence, why not just suppose it's them.

Tell me you're being sarcastic.
