Letter: With chips, please

INFURIATED by Anglo-Saxon remarks such as, “we told you from the start the euro was bonkers”, French president Nicolas Sarkozy “outmanoeuvred” Britain into exile from the main European Union disaster zone (your reports).

Sarkozy “outmanoeuvred” Britain into exile from the main European Union disaster zone (your reports).

As many people in Britain had longed for this outcome for decades and despaired of our supine political class, this was something of an own goal. Just how much of an own goal is shown by the bile flying our way, but Nick Clegg’s sissy phone calls are exactly the wrong way to react.

As a Franco-Scot, I advise Sergeant Wilson’s reply of “how terribly kind” – preferably in Franglais – with cartoon platefuls of bile and the query: “Can we have chips with that?”
