Le Monde’s Malingre Mocks Osborne

Paul Waugh is enjoying Le Monde’s profile of George Osborne which gives him quite a kicking.  Is it really that remarkable when a left-wing, French journalist gives a eurosceptic, British conservative politician a rough time?

She does have form, in a recent profile Virginie Malingre characterised another eurosceptic right-winger as a Conservateur Barbare. Charming…

    Problem with Osborne is that he sounds like he just sucked a helium ballon and we subconsciously perceive him as a light weight.

        “English is the international language”,

        The french absolutely hate that fact. English is also the language of the skies, french air traffic control often speak in french to British airlines landing in CDG, it is only when British pilots demand they obey international rules that the french air controllers revert to English.

        The frogs can be difficult c*nts at best, they know their language is crap, that’s why they have a government department dealing only in trying to invent new English words that come out, like E mail.

          Whereas we are perfectly at ease with using French words. Words such as ‘surrender’, we had to use a french word as there was no english equivilent.

        Well, I just read it without recourse (a dodgy French word that…) to a dictionary, and if I could be arsed registering to comment at Le \Monde, could compose a perfectly legible comment in French to the effect that all the criticisms of Osbourne (no background in finance, a non-technical degree, a bit young for the job) equally applied to the Maximum Imbecile in 1997.

        But then again I was educated under the direct grant system in a proper selective school – something which the Tories unaccountably failed to reintroduce in the 1980s.

        About the only point in the entire article I agreed with was ‘Il apparaît coincé entre deux promesses incompatibles à court terme. Celle de s’attaquer à une dette exponentielle (elle devrait représenter 80 % du PIB d’ici à 2014), la priorité de M. Osborne. Et celle de ne pas renouer avec les pratiques de Margaret Thatcher, qui a mis à terre les services publics britanniques.’

        Which, roughly translated means – ‘He seems, in the short term, caught between two incompatible promises. That of reducing a debt that is growing exponentially (it will increase by 80% of GDP between now and 2014), which is Mr Osbourne’s priority. And that of not achieving it by following the recipe of Margaret Thatcher, which decimated the British public services.’

        Right on the money, Virginie – the excessive burden of ‘public services’ will indeed have to be reduced, and even you in France will have to face that necessity. Why the Conservatives can’t just come out and say that bemuses me, I’m afraid.

      My all time all time all time favourite is where an SS company wiped out the Frech village of Oradour.

      No war crimes trial held afterwards because amazingly most of the company were French recruits to the SS.

      ..and this one from Guderian the Panzer General having swept across France in 10 days in 1940, when fighting for the Channel Ports ceased, they found that large numbers of French had been locked in various cellars by the British, because the French had wanted to surrender.

          The Danes managed to resist the Jewish deportations and it just did not happen, whereas in France, well I think we know the answer.

          • Old Nick Heavenly(real dimwit) says:

        Except, of course, that the French recruits came from Alsace and clearly considered themselves German. Alsace had long been disputed between France and Germany and was under German control from 1871-1918. It is likely, therefore, that the ‘French’ SS members had been born German citizens.

We should have intervened solely to save the jews. If the european socialists want to wipe each other out – with muslim help – then let them get on with it. England should only concern itself with preservation of itself and those who embody intellect and civilisation. and socialists and muslims exclude themselves from bothl.

        Entirely agree.
        Problem is where is the English spine? Its now a country overwhelmed by and overrun with S and M. It has caved in, rolled over and let itself be misruled by the worst slime ever to crawl unwashed from the bogs of McFifeland.
        The commenters here criticising the French for WWII “expediency” should ask themselves what has happened in England since. For the answer is total capitulation, a McMentalist in charge and about to be re-elected.
        Well Vive la Merde.
        The French are laughing now at least they ban the burkha, force the M*zzies to integrate or go home and take their socialism a la carte and with a very large dose of salt washed down by excellent wine.

        Mr Ned says:

        FUCK that!

        We should have stayed out of it altogether!

        I mean, we SAVED the Jews and how are we repaid? We give them their own country and they set their terrorists on us!

        Then they invent ancestors out of thin air to create a whole holo-caust industry and make sure that people who were never in camps, or related to same, make it rich at the direct expense of millions of GENUINE Jewish relatives and victims of the prison, slave and death camps, who have NOT RECIEVED A FUCKING PENNY!!!!.

        Then they insist on changing OUR laws to make THEM a “special and superior race” who are supposed to be immune from all global laws and treaties so that they can racially terrorise whomsoever they please and it is anti-semitic to suggest that we stop them!

        Then they try to have OUR laws changed to outlaw opinion and free-thought and prevent the freedom to think that the holo-caust never happened, WHILST at the same time trying to prevent any other country recognising many other holo-causts, like the Armenian and the Ukrainian holo-causts. So they want to change our laws to outlaw holo-caust denial, whilst denying all other holo-causts. Fucking hypocrites!

        OF COURSE the holo=caust happened, but to outlaw thought is the most sinister form of fascism/communism there is!

        Then the fuckers, not happy with being saved from annihilation, they only go and try to pressurise the US to start world war fucking THREE!!!

        They want the US to nuke a country that has a nuclear defence pact with Russia!

        I used to think that saving the Jews was obviously, and unquestioningly, the right thing to do, but THEIR behaviour since has proven that it really seriously was not. The earth would be a much more peaceful place now if Israel did not exist!!! They are, in every single possible definition of the phrase, a ‘failed and rogue’ state.

        They have all sorts of WMD, are not signatories to the UN NNPT, They ignore the UN and the IAEA and all laws, treaties and obligations relating to non proliferation of WMD, they threaten and actually invade and attack their neighbours, they threaten every country that does not swear absolute fealty to them. They ignore ALL UN resolutions against them, They engage in global murder, terrorism, torture, narcotics, slavery and do so openly and without apology.

      The French economy doesn’t bear too much scrutiny. A few large multi-nationals dependent on state aid, a lot of self-employed people and nothing in between. The socialist employment laws mean that no small companies can afford to employ anybody. Taxes are high. State (and EU) subsidies are rife.

You see, unlike those do-nothing, baby-eating Tories, we Labour folk have realised that money grows on trees. So we will be planting one million money trees in my garden over the next 5 years to pay for it all. These money trees will also swallow up most of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, offsetting CO2 emissions from Gordon’s speeches, thereby solving global warming into the bargain.

      The previous minimum was in 1963 (Av temp -0.3 deg C). But before 1963 you have to go back to 1947 ( Av temp 1.1 deg C) for the next lowest. To find the lowest temp on record you have to go back to 1684 (Av temp -1.2 deg C).

        Sir William Waad says:

        I fail to see why any observations of weather are necessary. Our modern Aristotelian science can predict these observations from the theory. Since the theory is perfect, there is no point in grubbing around with thermometers or suchlike. Observations are imperfect and only lead to apparent anomalies. Important scientists then have to waste time explaining these ‘anomalies’ whilst heretics stir up dissent and confusion amongst the ignorant.

        Always remember, we can conceive the idea of a ‘most perfect’ theory of climate change. Is such a theory true? Well, if it were not, one could conceive of a more perfect theory – one that was true. Thus, one arrives at a contradiction. Therefore our most perfect theory of climate change must be true. Q.E.D.

      The current high pressure over the UK is sucking cold air south west from the famously cold parts of central/eastern europe, down through germany, through the middle of france, that, mixed with the low pressures moving across the med have made it snow.

        Nonsense! Beloved Gordon is the most popular human being in history!

        He has a plan to end all wars, cure all known diseases, pay off the country’s debts and reduce taxes at the same time. It’s just that this plan is so clever we daren’t tell you about it before the election, because… er… you wouldn’t understand it. It’s because we care about you cherubs so much that we don’t want to overload you with our complicated plans to reduce the deficit.

        Anyway, the military are all Tories anyway, which is why they didn’t deserve to be funded properly. Er… even though we did fund them properly, that is. I mean, we made sure all the generals had at least two pairs of pyjamas to take to the front line. We even gave the infantry a few muskets to fire in the general direction of the enemy. Of course, as they’re all Tories, we didn’t want them to have any really dangerous stuff like body armour as they might hurt themselves with it. Or something.

      Constituency after constituency will resist the Tory fiscal continence, and our glorious armies will go marching on and on with brave Gordon striding confidently forth from his sedan chair at the rear. We will take 200 seats from the Tories, and increase our Commons majority to 680! Gordon will then make a glorious speech in front of a packed Wembley stadium, explaining how important it is to be gracious in victory, shortly before the few remaining Tories are marched out to face a firing squad in front of 80,000 people and billions across the globe on television.

    The Final Inspection

    The soldier stood and faced God,
    Which must always come to pass,
    He hoped his shoes were shining,
    Just as brightly as his brass.
    “Step forward now, you soldier,
    How shall I deal with you?
    Have you always turned the other cheek?
    To My Church have you been true?”
    The soldier squared his shoulders and
    said, “No, Lord, I guess I ain’t,
    Because those of us who carry guns,
    Can’t always be a saint.
    I’ve had to work most Sundays,
    And at times my talk was tough,
    And sometimes I’ve been violent,
    Because the world is awfully rough.
    But, I never took a penny
    That wasn’t mine to keep…
    Though I worked a lot of overtime
    When the bills got just too steep,
    And I never passed a cry for help,
    Though at times I shook with fear,
    And sometimes, God forgive me,
    I’ve wept unmanly tears.

    I know I don’t deserve a place
    Among the people here,
    They never wanted me around,
    Except to calm their fears.

    If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
    It needn’t be so grand,
    I never expected or had too much,
    But if you don’t, I’ll understand.”
    There was a silence all around the throne,
    Where the saints had often trod,
    As the soldier waited quietly,
    For the judgment of his God.

    “Step forward now, you soldier,
    You’ve borne your burdens well,
    Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
    You’ve done your time in Hell.”

    The three politicians then insisted they were protected from prosecution by parliamentary privilege and that the Commons should decide their fate, not a trial.

    More McDoom lies (easily exposed but no one in MSM does it); from today’s Times Online: “The Prime Minister went on to defend himself against charges that the government failed to provide an alternative to the lightly armoured Snatch Land Rover, which is now being phased out.

    Mr Brown said that it was only belatedly clear that Snatch Land Rovers would be unsuitable as insurgents turned to the use of roadside bombs. “This happened in Iraq in about 2005-06 and it happened in Afghanistan a bit later,” he said.”

    Except…the IRA used roadside bombs from 1969, and in terms of the current conflicts the Afghans from 2001, and Iraqis from 2003. Snatch Land Rovers were designed for and introduced in Northern Ireland in 1992 to, er, “snatch” rioters from the streets and for patrol duties in low threat areas.

    The army has always known what to do ie “as a result of the use of these bombs, the British military had to stop transport by road in (such) areas and use helicopter transport instead.”

    When does this last pearl of wisdom arise from you ask? The sharp military mind of Gorgon McDoom in 2005, 2006, or 2010?

    Er, no. It stemmed from the aftermath of the Warrenpoint ambush of 1979 when 18 British soldiers died in Northern Ireland.

    But we “should not be criticising” him of course; sorry I forgot. How easily 26 years passes by and is, also, forgotten.

      We might even find out where he got that money to buy his £2.5million mansion in London that he now lives in.

      Scrutiny of his friendships with certain russian people, and others who own yachts in the meditteranean and with the son of gaddafi would also yield an interesting insight into the ‘character’ of this labour cesspit that we currently call a government!!

    And then there is gordon this week trying to get himself invited onto the presenting slot of BBC’s Match of the Day – only to have his request turned down by the BBC as Inappropriate because they considered he was electioneering and that would leave them open to criticism.

      But in respect of george, the big question that needs to be asked as we come up to the election is do we trust edballs or george osborne with the economy. Because without a doubt if gutlessordon wins the next election edballs will be the next chancellor.

      Let’s face it even the teachers consider that edballs has made an absolute pigs ear of the job of Education Minister. And, it’s already acknowledged that he can’t balance or justify his own household, mp’s and ministerial expenses .

In a groundbreaking decision, the Versailles court of appeal ruled that a comment piece published in Le Monde in 2002, “Israel-Palestine: The Cancer,” had whipped up anti-Semitic opinion.

Welcome to Brown and Labour’s Britain where over 3.6 million (estimates put it actually nearer 7 million) anti-social low level nuisance “crimes” are committed annually according to HM Inspector of Constabulary which is 2.4 million more than actual “proper” crimes figures of 4.6 million reported annually.

    This is what Britain has become under New Labour:

    A 64-year-old man with learning difficulties was “tormented to death” after being bullied by yobs for more than a decade, neighbours have claimed.

    Police had been warned David Askew was being targeted before he was found dead at his home in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday night, locals said. One neighbour said he had been “tormented to death – like bear baiting”.

    Residents criticised police and officials for not supporting Mr Askew and his brother Brian and mother Rose, who was wheelchair-bound. Officers were called to the address on Melandra Crescent after being told yobs were causing an “annoyance”.

    When they arrived the youths had vanished but officers discovered the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

    As news of his death spread, neighbours told how Mr Askew had been the victim of a campaign of harassment.

    Avona Davies, 49, said: “This has been going on for about 10 years. We have complained to the police and council and they put cameras in their back garden about three years ago. They tormented David for money and cigarettes. They harassed him every night without fail.”

            UPDATE: There is also a new Angus Reid poll for Political Betting out tonight, which shows a completely different picture. There, the topline figures are CON 39%(+1), LAB 26%(nc), LDEM 18%(-1). Others are presumably somewhere around 17.

        Nell,I hear she wants a bloody plane now and some more staff,the sooner we get out of this EUSSR nightmare the better.
        I know this Ashton woman,from my neck of the woods at Grammar school my mates tell me she was always in the background and they lost track of her.
        She dicovered CND and then progressed from there.Give up nuclear arms when faced with Russia,what a brilliant idea.
        In the EUSSR/BRITISH EUSSR what a good idea to give this woman a leading position,bet the hawks in the USA are over the moon,although wouldn’t imagine the yanks are too concerned about this non entity.

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
