I had to write that title in French because I simply could not bring myself to use English. Anyway, it is my advice to the French electorate in their coming election not to you lot out there. I urged them to that action not because I have suddenly turned Left, or discovered my feminine side, or suddenly gone completely rather than half ga-ga, but because I read in Der Spiegel a confirmation of my earlier report that Merkel intends to campaign for the Hungarian dwarf. However, this gross intrusion into French affairs has now gone even further because, apparently:
Chancellor Angela Merkel has agreed with other conservative European leaders to help President Nicolas Sarkozy in the French election campaign by spurning his Socialist challenger François Hollande.
The usual suspects are involved including Spain and Italy (You vant ze Euros? Ve haf veys of making zem available!) However, I am ashamed to report that Britain, too, has agreed to shun the socialist candidate François Hollande. In the not unlikely event that European electorates turn Left over the next few years (Germany is due an election next year) and a socialist Chancellor and a socialist President stick their oars into our general election, how will 'Dim Dave' like 'them apples'?!
Quite apart from the impropriety of interfering in French affairs, Hollande seems determined to rock the European boat. Even if he only tries half the things he has in mind it will cause huge ructions and with a bit of luck and a following wind it will cut down the power of the Brussels apparatchiks. In other words, more or less exactly what Britain wants and needs. And 'Dim Dave' opposes it. No wonder Hilton did a runner!
