French Cries

It is reported that the French Prime Minister is coming to London today to ask us to help out with the Euro crisis by agreeing to greater integration. The French have a habit of asking us to help out although I do not recall what thanks or help we have ever received in return. Where was the help we needed against the Argentine as the French continued to sell our enemy exocet missiles? Where was the help we needed when we were are under enormous pressure before our ignominious exit from the European Monetary Union? Of course we must not talk about the last World War. We must, as de Gaulle would have done, say NO. There will be those who will say we should help out and use the occasion to seek a quid pro quo. When have we ever had the better of the negotiations with the cheating, lying fascist bureaucrats at the EU? We do not have a long enough spoon to deal with the EU tricksters. Let the eurozone countries go hang and clear up their own mess. This is a real test for our government, a real test for Cameron and its timing could not be more propitious, coming as it does after the vote on the EU Bill  in Parliament yesterday.
