London made it very attractive for people to come there and work there, and I think in France, quite frankly, attitudes exist that cause people to shy away from that part of the world in terms of being a financial centre, ... I think France has hurt their image in the world and has thrown away all of the good will they earned.
They need to change their leadership so that everyone will like them.
-sound familiar?

The French are so obnoxious that even New Yorkers think they've got an attitude problem.

a misunderstanding about wealth that stemmed from when it was defined by cows and land and the only way my wealth could increase is if I took yours away. There is a lot of wisdom in that statement and explains much of the moonbats' hatred for capitalism.

There is a socialist woman who has been high lighted recently as a new leader.

The signature block says it all.
Il n'y a pas d'honte être français. Il y a seulement l'honte dans rester de français.

They're just cranky because they know their low birthrates and irresponsible immigration policies will result in an islamic france towards the end of their lifetimes.
I'd probably be miserable too if in the back of my mind I knew I'd end up alone and hoping against hope that Mohamed, the Algerian immigrant with 10 children to support, would somehow find it in his heart to pay for my useless, infidel body, to get proper care in the sunset of my life.

it was probably just a joke.

London may find itself something other than a "mecca" for business.
To: george76
Perella is a heavy hitter. Looks like London's position as Europe's financial center is secure.
I feel so sorry for the French. :-))

I worked for a major US company in Paris for four years. The government had their 'labor trackers' with clickers and watches at our building entrance each day.
They recorded the number and time of employees entering and leaving the building.
This was to get the aggregate man-hours worked daily, to ensure that people were not working too much. Our company faced stiff fines for violating the work rules.
This mindset is coupled with a very high tax rate. Not a business friendly place to locate... especially for those who want to compete internationally.

When the moonrock worshippers finally take over France, do we save them again?
To: george76
Well, Duh! The French deliberately killed the best of their race 200 years ago and wonder why they've failed ever since.
