Sarky a dit: Je blâme le désordre dont nous avons hérité du parti des travailleurs

[Giant f*cking Sudoku]

The mess from Gaddafi and veering to the hard right in what's still an inherently left leaning country. Wish I had a nice bottle of white Bordeaux to neck right now. If only we had a Hollande figure in this country twinned with a perceptive electorate!

Tonight's a good night for us lefties then, eh?

Some sort of combination of Hollande, Janusz Palikot and Chuka Umunna would get my vote for life

With the exception of Boris it's been a pretty good week to be honest.

Predictable bat-shit insane comments from you know who.

Raising an uncharacteristic glass of a rather nice St Emilion in celebration...

Tchin tchin!

Amazingly the top-rated comment at the moment is surprisingly sane...

The turnout in France was 80.5%, in our elections we struggled to get over 30%. Doesn't that show that democracy is very weak in Britain- what has happened, why are people do dis-engaged?!

However, this being the Mail...

"HURRAY THE LEFT IS RISING AGAIN" Just like it did in the UK in 1997 with the scenes of hysteria and jubilation that greeted Blair's election. And we know how that ended. The only silver lining I can see to this cloud is that a dose of Socialism under Comrade Hollande will almost certainly recruit more members for Mrine Le Pen.

Tony Blair was/is a socialist?

[smod]

Cameron ignored Hollande back in February and publicly backed Sarkozy. How incredibly and hilariously short-sighted by PR Dave.

I do love the Mail's headline:

Au revoir, Sarkozy! Au revoir, austerity! New Euro crisis as French and Greeks reject cuts and vote for return to ruinous spending

They don't seem keen!

[Althea]

Yeah, 'cos you totally can't spend your way out of debt.

That whole "spend money before you make money" thing is complete BS, isn't it? All those small business and corporations that have risen from a small bank loan into massively succesfu-

Ah.

F*ck the Mail for constantly going after his wife, talking about making her an "honest woman". Soon as they get flustered, out come the Victorian/Christian values, plus ça change. The "rottweiler" play on her name isn't even their own insult.

Doesn't Jonathan Harmsworth live in France?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Indeed he does. But his Eurotunnel ticket to Planet Leveson is booked.
