When Marie and Louis were given the chop it certainly wasn't a lamb chop.
If they.can't afford bread let them.eat.cake

"Let them eat cake" was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1765. At that time Marie Antoinette was a nine year old Austrian princess who had never been to France, so obviously Rousseau's memory of "a great princess" saying something similar years earlier had nothing to do with Marie Antoinette. Even before the invention of the internet baseless rumors could spread like wildfire and become commonly accepted "facts."
Thus spoke Queen Marie Antoinette wife of King.Louis 16 of France to the.impoverished masses.They both ended up by getting their just deserts.
Now up pops a politician.in.England who.is.reported to.have said.that if.people cannot afford.bread
and cheese sandwiches they should not buy them. Vive la France.
