Earlier a French minister threatened to end border controls in Calais if Britain votes to Leave, now Hollande is making empty ultimatums to British voters. Asked specifically about what would happen to Calais border controls post-Brexit, Hollande warned:
“I don’t want to scare you. I just want to say the truth. There will be consequences if the United Kingdom is to leave the EU… I don’t want to give you catastrophic scenarios, but there will be consequences … especially in the way we handle the situation in terms of immigration. There is no solution where there is no consequences.”
Cameron just stands there and smiles. Does Hollande really think British voters are going to be threatened by a Miliband-loving, triple-dipping, pint-sized French socialist philanderer?
Francois Hollande on the EU deal:
“Just because it lasted a long time doesn’t mean that much happened.”
Gaia has been reading through the climate proposals submitted by countries attending the fast approaching Paris Climate Summit, so you don’t have to. Best of the bunch is this offering from Bolivia, which argues:
“to find a lasting solution to the climate crisis we must destroy capitalism… a system of death… leading humanity towards a horizon of destruction”
The report goes on to demand climate reparations, including a twist of which Jeremy Corbyn would be proud:
“Allocate the resources of the military machinery of the imperial powers and the war-mongers to finance the activities of the peoples against climate change.”
To think critics have suggested the Paris Summit is suffering from a crisis of credibility…
Bolivian leader Evo Morales was in Paris on Monday to meet François Hollande:
If you look closely you can actually see him patting down François for “imperial war-monger” cash…

François Hollande has arrived at the scene of the shooting:
“We’re a country of liberty and because of that we receive threats.”
This is the Charlie Hebdo cover on the French president’s personal life:
They mocked politicians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, black people and white people…
François Hollande, Ed Miliband and now Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi. The FT reports that ISIS are implementing Red Ed’s policy of a 50p top rate of tax across the one holy caliphate:
“Sajad Jiyad, an independent researcher in Iraq, says that Isis struggles to balance its books, but services continue to function because of the money Baghdad still pays to former civil servants in Mosul. Isis taxes those employees at up to 50 per cent of their salaries.”
It’s a cost of jihad crisis! The caliphate can do better than this. One nation….
