According to the (biased) BBC, the French don't appear to like us. This seems to be news to the BBC.
Seems that Cameron has upset them by standing up for British interests and (based on recent polls) by representing the wishes of a majority of the British public.
Now the French, in a communitaire act, are suggesting that the ratings agencies should downgrade UK's debt from AAA to something lower.
Fortunately the agencies are not yet run by France or the EU (though a proposal seems to be doing the rounds!). These naughty agencies are not looking at UK rating levels - I guess that little though the UK is doing to reduce debt and the deficit, it is doing something! - instead they are looking at France's rating which seems to be at risk.
Thing I don't quite understand is who does the French Finance Minister think he is fooling? Or who is listening to him other than for a blogg-able quote to denigrate and denounce?
Why, when his own jardin is such a mess, is he looking over the fence and criticising the neighbor's garden?
It must be hard being French these days. Wine is poor, old and over-priced, Triple A rating is about to become a thing of the past and, no that's it, there never was much!
Oh! I know, Sarkozy also has to closely watch Merkel's back-side so he doesn't bump into it when this French poodle follows its master.
