British right it ‘world’s stupidest’

PRIME Minister David Cameron proved the British political right is the world’s stupidest by refusing the European summit deal on fiscal reform under pressure from narrow financial lobby interests, the head of France’s financial sector regulator said yesterday.

“For a long time it was said that the French right was the world’s stupidest,” Jean-Pierre Jouyet, head of France’s AMF regulatory agency, said on France’s Inter state radio.

“I think the English right has shown it is capable of being the world’s stupidest, in serving purely financial interests and not the national interest. That’s regrettable because we need our British friends in Europe,” he said.
