What does the word 'Nationalist' in a French context suggest?
An otherwise rather amusing item on the BBC site about a prospective Anglo-French union in the 50s includes this comment, "Nationalist MP Jacques Myard was similarly stunned on being shown the papers, saying: "I tell you the truth, when I read that I am quite astonished. I had a good opinion of Mr Mollet before. I think I am going to revise that opinion".
Monsieur Myard is associated with what was Rassemblement pour la République, the straight down the line Gaullist party. It wasn't what I expected from 'nationalist', and having tried the smell test on others, neither did they. Don't you just love the BBC and its inherent biases?

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
When I hear French Nationalist, I think Le Pen.
I think that is what the BBC would like us to think.
Le Pen claims to be a man of the centre-right these days. As I am sure we will be hearing from the Beeb ad nauseum in the months ahead. Nationalist in French terms at the moment would probably be Philippe de Villiers and his Mouvement Pour La France.
Hole in one, Serf.
Your Froggy hobbies mystify me for the most part C. I heard the item on R4 and I was confused as to the relevance of the interviewee.
