Suddenly a handshake from David Cameron probably seems an awful lot more inviting. Former president Nicolas Sarkozy could become the next wealthy Frenchman to flee to Britain over his countrys looming tax hikes on the rich. Mr Sarkozy who famously snubbed the Prime Ministers attempt to shake his hand after Mr Cameron vetoed changes to the EU treaty in 2011 is reportedly planning to move to London to set up a £800million investment fund. The 57-year-old, who was ousted from office last June, has amassed a fortune from £150,000-an-hour public speaking engagements and is now said to be trying to raise capital from investors. If the move goes ahead, the controversial Frenchman will become the latest to escape a potential top tax rate of 75 per cent in his home country.
He and his former supermodel third wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy would be likely to settle in an affluent district like South Kensington so becoming the most high profile Gallic celebrity couple in the city.

The First Clod is a supermodel. Get with the program! She has toned shoulders too. And a wig.

This is just a rumor! The trash tabloid says the “inside info” was obtained from documents and computer files seized inside Sarko and Carla’s home in Paris, in a police raid one month after he left the Élysée palace.
How nice to live in a country where there is no due process, and unwarranted search and seizure of a private citizen’s private home is permitted.

Thanks Cincinna. Nice, a police raid after he’s out of power, we’ve seen the future, and it doesn’t work any better than when a Kennedy relation said it about the USSR.
Seems to me that moving to Russia is like going to a Roach Motel..."you check in, but you don't check out.."
It’s gonna get even better. Cameron just announce a plebiscite for 2105 on GB staying in the EU. Watch for Sarkozy to campaign all over thee British Isles in support of GTHO..(Getting the hell out) of the EU
