Maestro, I don't think the British ever started to hate de Gaulle! Churchill authorized de Gaulle to make his call to arms over the radio on the 18th June for a bloody good reason - it was Waterloo Day! That says it all.
Having said that, I give full marks and unqualified respect to those Frenchmen who refused to lay down their arms, and who joined de Gaulle's FFL; just because de Gaulle was insufferably arrogant, and became even worse after the War, it should not detract from the courage and determination of the small band of French men and women who continued the fight.
