Macron has taken on the "Non" mantle of de Gaulle

General Charles de Gaulle was notorious for saying "non" when he disagreed with something, which was often the case. Now President Emmanuel Macron has become the Non man of Europe when asked about Britain's struggle to agree a Brexit plan. Theresa May wants yet another extension to Article 50 to try and try again to get an agreement through Parliament. But Macron has replied, "Non, madam, what iz zee point if you 'ave no plan." Well he may only be about 22 but I suppose he's right. What iz zee point if Theresa May has no hope of forging a deal with the opposition before April 12? Donald Tusk, the less than charismatic president of the European Council is happy to extend and extend and extend, perhaps for years, in the hope that the British will give up the ghost and just cave in and say, "Oh sod it, we'll stay in the EU". But Macron is a realist and also a hardline European.He wants the EU to be big and strong and unforgiving and let the British hang themselves. Well thanks Monsieur Le President, we saved your bacon in the Second World War, don't forget, and if it wasn't for us and the Americans and Canadians and others, you wouldn't be president of La France today. I know we can't go on and on about saving zee French from Nazi occupation. But we don't take too kindly to Macron being a right old goat about our Brexit problem. So M Macron, a little more understanding and sympathy and patience, if you please.
