I just read an article written in the Times about Sarkozy. In this article, the journalist said Sarkozy is not a real Frenchman is more English or American. Let’s see why UK people think that.

Sarkozy is more English than French

Don't you think he can be a good british Prime Minister ?

In 10 points the journalist demonstrated why Sarkozy is not so french and more English. Let’s have a look.

1- He jogs… WAHOU… That’s not French to jog. The journalist said Alain Finkielkraut, a French philosopher, beeged Sarkozy to stop. Ok guys, who knows Finkielkraut among you ? No one. I can tell you, the majority of French people hate him. He’s pretentious and very orientated. And what an argument ! Jog… A lot of French people jog as English, American…

2-He styles himself on a US president. True. Because of the Union speach. It’s more a megalomaniac behaviour than an anglosaxon one.

3- He holidays in New Hampshire… Oulalala!!! Once guys. Where is he now ? He’s in France in the Carla’s villa. He loves to go in Corsica. And everywhere his rich and important friends invite him.

4- He’s actually jealous of Britain. “We should ask ourselves why the English buy our houses in the Dordogne, in the Périgord and in many other regions,” he said as Interior Minister in 2006. “The answer is simply because the British GDP is 10 per cent greater than the French, and that the standard of life of the British is higher than that of the French.” And not a word about our grim food or scorched red skin. It’s not normal”. I need to put the whole sentence of the journalist, because he wrote something so old. Can someone remember me the trend of GDP now??? And for the record, a lot of English leave their houses in Perigord to come back in the UK… The euro is too high. So please take updated news.

5- He thinks it is very important to learn english. But every body think it’s very important to learn english. It’s the basis after knowing your own language. And Sarkozy doesn’t speak a word of English. Also our method to learn english is not good in France and Sarkozy has made any changes for the moment… So ….

6- He wants to reduce the separation between Church and State… It’s a dream my dear British friends. If there is one thing you can not change in France it’s this. It’s a principle. And the journalist made a little confusion. Because he said we pass law regarding religions like the one that forbids headscarves at schools and in the administration. It’s not regarding a religion, it’s a law to defend the laicity. Every religious signs are banned from the State. I know you don’t understand the Laicity principle but try to understand it. It’s the most important thing in France.

7- He wants to make the French work on Sundays… True, and he will arrive to his goal. Against the big majority of French. Hurrah the Democraty has spoken.

8- He doesn’t drink wine… Again, what a cliché. You are still thinking because we are French we drink wine. But no, some French people don’t drink wine and don’t anything about it… And on top of that, I don’t believe him one sec when he said he never drinks wine… It’s a bad joke…

9- He married an Italian… This one I don’t get it. Because you think French marry with only French ?? Bah… No answer.

10- He has denounced “French arrogance”. This one makes me laugh a lot. In French we have a say : “C’est l’hôpital qui se fout de la gueule de la charité” … Means… The most arrogant of French people, Sarkozy himself, said French are arrogant. Please, please, I’m dying, I laugh so much. And well, it’s true we are arrogant, and a lot of French recognize it.

So my dear journalist of the Times, I’m surre you are clever so stop the cliché and the short cuts. And British people if you consider Sarkozy like an Englishman, please, my pleasure take him away from France and keep him with you.
