Drop in for a natter about anything French related.Sadly the BBC seem to have a couple of errors in their text : The two men killed were prison officers, not police officers as stated further down the text, and there were three injured, one critically.

But it's interesting that it's such an important story on the BBC.

Escaped prisoner in Normandy
The early report I read on the BBC stated that they were prison officers.

Escaped prisoner in Normandy
Still the main headline on the online page. Maybe (I'm being optimistic here!) to alert British tourists travelling to, or currently in the area. Or the BBC just liking any opportunity to have a pop at how awful France is!
Ah, no, I've got it! It's to divert attention from whatever the current major sh*te is that the UK Govt are up to .......
