I detect the Brits getting a little concerned that we’ll move toward the French, who are growing closer and closer with the US under the demi-god Sarkozy. If not for Sark’s open affection for the US, Brown would be giving us the bird. But Brown is clearly worried about France becoming our new best friend in Europe and the strong US-UK bond under Bush and Blair now being transfered to Paris instead. Who’d have thought we’d see the day?
You may be on to something there. The new French President has been a healthy addition to the mix.
