One tries not to take enjoyment from the misfortune of others, but Guido's email subject line caused a smile this evening:

Le Downgrade Est Arrivé

Well of course after being slagged off by Sarkozy at the EU summit no doubt Cameron will be heartbroken to hear the sad news that France has been downgraded as a credit risk. The downgrade will do for his pollratings and French pride. Oh dear, never mind.

The Eurozone states are determined to drive themselves into economic disaster for the sake of their project, yep, it sure will hurt us but seeing as there is nothing we can do a little humour does no harm.

Oh and we're not in a good state but nowhere near as bad as France (Italian/Greek debt and a Euro member) despite what the small homme says.

But the French and the Germans are behaving terribly towards us - pointing at Britain and trying to get our credit rating downgraded, too.

Tw*ts!

Hard to have sympathy for them especially as the Euro pills-up was their idea which they are still trying to bulldoze everyone else into keeping or accepting.

Amongst the usual dodgy posts on the email above there is this which I think sums up where the Euro is quite well...

"The Greeks have found that they have power in being totally bust, and can wring concessions out of the EU by threatening to default totally on their debts.

In the Euro it appears you’re either bust, or bailing out those who are bust until you’re bust too."

The only sadness in this news is that no matter what happens, Sarkozy will continue to enjoy a luxurious life and retirement banging that tall, below average actress...

How amusing - the next line of the post made exactly this point regarding UK governments and Gordon Brown!
