All you need to know about the British and French economies

The recent anti-British invective spouted by French politicians is comical more than anything else.

Especially amusing is the idea that Nick Clegg is some kind of "honest broker" (when everyone knows where his sympathies lie).

To hear the various French politicians talk, you might think they were unaware that there are hundreds of thousands of French economic migrants living in London.

There are of course many English people living in France.

But whereas English people go to France to retire and sit in the sun, French people come to England to work.

I think that tells you all you need to know about the British and French economies.
