The new French President has been quick off the mark bless him ! Maybe he will learn in time that more haste and less speed is worth thinking about ? Or put another way engage brain before opening mouth.
A quick look at the value of the Euro's performance following his election must surely tell him something. Here's a man - a nice man - who is against the austerity measures introduced by agreement with his predecessor. But here is a man, methinks, whatever he now says, who would actually welcome the return of the franc and bugger the Euro. Well we all know what I think of the Eurozone so nice one, Franky !!
I could actually grow to like the man if otherwise he didn't appear to be so financially naive. He would like to see Europe wide taxes to "neuter" the City of London. No surprises there then !! Just a heads up though, Franky, Angela will make sure that Paris always plays second fiddle to Frankfurt - oh and by the way, good luck with your meeting on 16th May. Make sure you put a newspaper down your trousers !
This Presidential fellow suggests the UK is indifferent to the fate of the Euro; well surely that just shows a complete lack of economic understanding. And to remark that the UK is attentive only to the interests of the City of London smacks just a little bit of envy? If only France had such a magnificent and successful financial centre eh, Franky ?? Well no chance of that in the near future.
No. I'm really interested to see how this fellow gets on. I'll wager it wont be too long before he has to change his spots.
Above all I wish France and its people all of the very best and I hope that their choice of President brings them what they want. But I have already heard someone utter the inevitable words "Come back Sarkozy; all is forgiven."
