    Whether the point of comparison was food, health, education or science, France was in far better shape than its old rival, he said.

      such great leadership!

      lol.. his ratings are low so he figures he can motivate the French people to support him through inflammatory patriotism?

                His remarks were in stark contrast to recent comments by his popular interior minister and bitter rival, Nicolas Sarkozy, who extolled the "Anglo-Saxon model" Mr Chirac so reviles.

                Mr Sarkozy even dared to ask out loud whether it was "France that is wrong and the world that is right".

                Mr Chirac's response was not only a rebuff to Mr Sarkozy but also part of a concerted campaign to restore French pride at a time of national soul-searching and gloom.

                ------------

                From the article. Is there a French election coming up soon?? Or are we likely to see a party coup??

                  Ever hear the saying:

                  "What'll happen first............the Germans forgiving us for pulverizing and beating them in WWII OR the French forgiving us for liberating them in WWII?

                      Read the article:

                      Mr Chirac, embattled by a run of crushing defeats and record low ratings in the polls, had clearly decided that the best form of defence was attack.

                      "I have a lot of esteem for the British people and for Tony Blair," he said. "But I do not believe that the British social model is a model that we should copy or envy."

                      In his annual Bastille Day television interview he did concede that unemployment was lower in Britain than in France, where it is running at more than 10 per cent. But in public health and tackling poverty the French were "much better placed than the British", he said.

                      France put a higher percentage of its national wealth into education and scientific research than Britain, Mr Chirac added - "So I don't envy their model."

                        Does anyone even like the French?

                        I mean you hear people bashing the States. You hear people bashing Canada. You hear people bashing China, and Russia. But it seems like everyone collectively hates the French, haha.

                        Poor Frenchies.

                            Even the French hate the French, go to Paris and youll see what I mean.


                            But love them or hate them its still one of the best countries to visit in the world.

                            Great food
                            great wine
                            great culture
                            great roads
                            great health service

                            Im from England, so our natural enemy is the French, but I have to admit, France is a great country to visit or live in. I hate to admit it, but Chirac was right, the French have nothing to envy us for.

                                  I think your right. Its like our god given right to hate them, and them to hate us. But still, find a decent cafe in France and a bottle of Merlot and all is forgiven

                                      France need to give up their agricultural subsidies... It's only a small proportion of their economy but they're such a powerful lobby that have Chriac in their pocket. France would do much better if they stopped shooting themselves in the foot this way.

                                                    He's right about most of what he said, France does have a better social system than Britain, and obviously better food. All you people who rag on France without ever having been there make me laugh, it's like you're trying to look ignorant. Most "rich" Americans and Canadians, in other words people with a couple million dollars who think they're big shots, hate France because they could never afford to live there and have the same lifestyle, so they rag on the taxes and social benefits the lower classes get. It takes real money to live large on the French Riviera and the wannabe's hate that. France is far from perfect but they have it right in a lot of ways.

If they don't get their priorities straight their culture is going to be wiped out in 50-100 years anyway. The idiots keep focusing on the Anglo-Saxon influences on their culture, but are too scared to say anything about the fucking one that is growing in power every year - Islam.
