L, he might be a) French and b) a Socalist but he's got the UK government bang to rights on this one.

AKH, ta, na, Camerosborne will continue to ignore him and stick up for their mates dans le City.

Anti finance will mean that he is against the London boys not his former mates from École nationale d'administration who pop between the french banks and then french treasury.

France is, was and remain a corporatist state.

Sorry Mark all Politicos devalue ideas by bandwagon jumping for their own ends. This messenger does need shooting he will destroy a good idea/aim.

Mark Wadsworth said...

S, which good idea/aim do you mean?

Sean said...

Splitting the banks up from their hedge funds. And adopting a new model of utility banking.

Hollande is a blairist radical centrist, the worst extremist off them all. He will hijack any theme that he can use to further his and the French states advantage.
