Attentat cordial

There’s a rather silly suggestion here (via Onze Taal) to the effect that, with English reasonably close to becoming the only EU working language, it’s about time the UK started paying for everyone else to learn English. I find this a weak argument: with the French Eurocracy converted to the delights of English, it will surely not be long before the Lord High Elocutioner issues a directive replacing French with English in schools, at which point the entire public administration will follow. The curtain will rise on an age of love and understanding between Paris and London, and the cost will be approximately zilch.
