How will we know if the meeting is a success?
The CEBR has an answer.
"If it causes Sarkozy to flounce off in a huff," the organisation tells me, "then bring it on. There is a rule of thumb that anything international that upsets the French (moves against protectionism or reform of the CAP) is probably a good idea."
Quite.
The war on Iraq failed that test.
We won the war in Iraq and it sucked in Al-Quaeda and we absolutely whoomped them there.
Mission Total Success.
“anything international that upsets the French … is probably a good idea.”
Or the Krauts, except perhaps in financial matters.
Is it still legal in the UK to call them Krauts? Jerries? Squareheads? Huns?
