So now, while the French government remains unapologetic, we wait to see if the commissioner's outrage has any teeth. There is talk of a hefty fine. A fine? Why not just expel France from the EU? Turf the French out with as much ceremony as they are allowing the Roma families. A racist regime has no place in a civilised Europe. If Sarkozy needs no legal sanction in order to expel people from his borders then why should we allow him any due process before kicking him out of the union?
