Despicable French, playing school yard tricks

Despicable French, playing school yard tricks

Is it any wonder the French have a bad reputation in the UK for being two faced wingers always complaining. There triple A rating is at threat and there first course of action is not to look to what they can do to correct the situation they look to transfer the attention on to another country. The only defence of their triple A rating France could come up with was to attempt to transfer the attention on to the UK, the UK economy is irrelevant to the rating of the French yet the only comments they seem to be able to make is the UK should be dropped first, thank you France.

French finance minister Francois Baroin earlier described the UK's economic situation as "very worrying."

Mr Baroin's comments came after the chairman of the French central bank, Christian Noyer, suggested on Thursday that Britain was a candidate for a downgrade ahead of France, amid fears in Paris that France might lose its triple-A rating.

The French prime minister, Mr Fillon, raised similar concerns during a visit to Brazil.

"When I look at our British friends, who are even more indebted than us and carrying a bigger deficit, what I see is that the ratings agencies so far don't seem to have noticed," he said on Thursday

With friends like the French who needs enemies it is little wonder we know them as cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Conservatives the new Labour

Conservatives the new Labour

When will politicians stop bowing to what they believe the voters want and put together a strategy to bring the country out of what looks like recession.

This government is already responsible for higher levels of taxation than the previous Labour government now they are also looking to limit executives pay. Given the governments record to date they should concentrate on getting the country out of the mess it is in instead of attempting to run private companies. It is no wonder that this country is seeing little growth in the economy, why should capitalists invers all, risk all to be taxed to the hilt. It appears that the state wants to control board room pay without the need to invest.

This government should spend more time developing a growth strategy, further reducing spending along with reductions in employers national insurance, corporation tax, scrap the minimum wage, working time directive and the young persons in the work place act.
