Quote of the Day

Nicolas Sarkozy said to Gordon Brown

“You know, Gordon, I should not like you. You are Scottish, we have nothing in common and you are an economist. But somehow, Gordon, I love you. But not in a sexual way.”

    Thanks a lot for that. An image certain to prevent peaceful sleep – but I can imagine them together………..in a sexual way.

    Having a spineless europhile-lackey in Downing Street will always produce rapturous applause from a French President.

    Does anyone have an idea about why Sarkozy felt it necessary to add: “But not in a sexual way”? Did he add the rider when making the same smarmy compliment to Blair or Obama?

    Since when is Gordon Brown an economist anyway? He’s “qualified” as a trade union historian.

    I had a French boss once, who told me the same thing. We were alone together in an office. Instinctively, I moved further away from him, which he doubtless found amusing. I think it’s a Gallic tease, to show masculine power over the other.
