President Sarkozy yesterday threatened to wreck the London summit if France’s demands for tougher financial regulation are not met.
France will not accept a G20 that produces a “false success with language that sounds good but contains no commitments”, his advisers said.
Asked if this meant a possible walk-out, Xavier Musca, Mr Sarkozy’s deputy chief of staff for economic affairs, said: “A basic rule with nuclear deterrence is that you do not say at what point you will use the weapon.”
If I could just point out that Heathrow is thataway?
Won´t take you long to get home.
He’s most likely going to be going from City airport by private jet I’d have thought. Or perhaps Northolt. But either way I agree with your sentiments. I thought the whole point of these summits was to issue communiques of meaningless drivel, but then what do I know.
Presumably if they nuke London Northolt’s runway won’t be operable?
I’ll scream and scream until I’m sick.
Diplomacy ala Sarko
Sod off, can’t you bang him up under the Prevention of Terrorism law & keep him under lock & key for a couple of years? Waterboard him as well if you wan’t to. We don’t want him back over here.
