So, some guys from England decided to play soldier again. They called their little trip "Operation Overlord." That is the same name as the D-Day landings in World War Two. You know, the one where people actually did something brave. These guys just wanted to stand on a beach in France and yell at boats. It is funny because they hate the French. They hate the EU. They probably hate the food there. But they really wanted to go on a trip to France to tell people not to come to England. It is a big circle of dumb. It is a perfect loop of human stupidity that only we are capable of.

The French government said no. The people in charge in northern France put out a big ban. They do not want these guys coming over this weekend. They say it will cause trouble. Of course it will. When you get a bunch of angry men with flags together, they don't usually sit down for tea and a nice chat. They shout. They push. They make everyone else’s day a nightmare. The French authorities in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais areas are tired. They have enough problems with people trying to leave. They do not need a bunch of tourists coming in to make a scene about it.

Let’s look at the name again. "Operation Overlord." These "patriots" think they are saving the world. They think they are the next generation of heroes. But they are just guys who spend too much time on the internet. They have no jobs or maybe they just have too much free time. They want to "stop the boats." The UK government says they want to stop the boats too. But when these guys do it, it looks like a circus. It makes the whole thing look like a joke. It is hard to take a serious issue seriously when the people talking about it are wearing plastic helmets and capes made of flags.

The French are not much better. They love to ban things. It is their favorite hobby. If you want to do something in France, a guy in a suit will tell you that you can't. They banned ten specific people first. These were the leaders of a group called "Raise the Colours." The French said these ten people have done bad things on French soil before. That is probably true. Most of these groups are just looking for a fight. They are not there to help anyone. They are there to get likes on social media and feel important for five minutes. Now, the ban is even bigger. It covers anyone from these far-right groups who wanted to join the protest.

Imagine the scene that almost happened. You have the French police on one side. They are tired. They just want to go home and eat. On the other side, you have British guys in red, white, and blue. They are shouting about "sovereignty." They are shouting about "borders." But they are trying to cross a border to tell other people not to cross a border. My head hurts just thinking about it. They are literally the migrants they say they hate, just with better passports and louder voices. They are traveling across the sea to a land where they aren't wanted to complain about people traveling across the sea to a land where they aren't wanted.

The group is called "Raise the Colours." What a name. It sounds like a bad movie about pirates. They are "far-right activists." That is just a fancy way of saying they are angry and don't like neighbors who look different. They think they are protecting their culture. But if their culture is just standing on a French beach and being annoying, maybe it is not worth protecting. The French interior ministry got involved too. When the big bosses in Paris get involved, you know it is a mess. They don't want the far-right from England mixing with the far-right from France. That would be too much stupid in one place. It might cause a black hole of dumbness that swallows the whole English Channel.

Both sides are performative. The activists want to look tough for their followers. The French government wants to look like they are keeping the peace. Neither side is actually solving anything. The boats will still try to cross. The people in them will still be desperate. And the guys with the flags will just find a different beach to stand on and complain. The whole thing is a theater production where everyone is a bad actor and the script was written by a toddler.

This is what we have become. We don't solve problems. We just ban people from talking about them in certain places. Or we go to another country to shout about our own country. It is all a big game. And the prize is nothing. We are all losers here. The British guys lose because they can't go on their little trip. The French lose because they have to spend money on police to stop the trip. And we lose because we have to read about it.

I am tired of it. Every day is a new story about people being loud and useless. These activists think they are the main characters in a history book. They are not. They are just a footnote in a list of reasons why the world is going down the drain. If you want to stop boats, maybe try something that doesn't involve wearing a costume and going to France. But that would require thinking. And thinking is not something these people do well.

So, no "Operation Overlord" this weekend. No British flags on French sand. Just a bunch of guys sitting at home in England, typing in all caps on their keyboards. They will say the "globalists" stopped them. They will say the French are "cowards." They will say anything to feel like they matter. But they don't. No one in this story matters. It is just noise in a world that is already too loud. It is just another day where the adults have left the room and the kids are fighting over the sandbox.
