Cameron to refocus energy on revitalising British economy
Apart from the now growing unlikelihood of Nicolas Sarkozy retaining his French presidential throne, the global investor approval for British monetary separatism is likely to be a clear trend to emerge from the weekend’s downgrading by Standard & Poors of the credit rating of the French, Austrian and other economies when the world’s stock markets re-open this morning.
Even though Mr Sarkozy has been highly critical of Britain’s separatist monetary policy, Mr Cameron said relatively little at the weekend, wisely conscious that almost any statement could be read as gloating at France’s misfortune.
