[la france] cheeky sod, sarko

This is a really curly one:

Nicolas Sarkozy will ask the European Union (EU) to bend its fiscal rules to help avoid a French economic slowdown.
Mr Sarkozy wants to cut French taxes, a move that means France will breach a 3% budget deficit rule set by the EU.

All right, as Brits, we don't want any advantage given to the French, especially if it's going to cost us.


On the other hand, you have to hand it to the guy. He was elected to get France back and running and how can you blame him for trying this one on? He's used every little trick in the book so far and I say good luck to him.

Better than the previous stagnation they had. As for Segolene - what a disaster that would have been.

    Believe me, I have tried to understand the French mentality, the European mentality, the wishful thinking that, one day, there will be congress between La France et Allemagne, mais, it's just no gonnae happen. Et que? Combien des (this is where I get it wrong!)les contessas?
