Having told us how essential it is to have the Lisbon Treaty with its common foreign policy, President Sarkozy has launched his own embassy to the Middle East, bypassing the common European one led by the Czech presidency, saying only large countries were capable of this. It might be pleasing to have one of my New Year's forecasts come true within a couple of days, but this is a salutary lesson to small countries on how they are going to be treated, Ireland take note.
And just as an indication of how much power the French constitution gives this diminutive busybody, he has just made a unilateral ruling on adverts on French State Television. Imagine Gordon Brown trying that kind of interference!
Something you probably won't see on French TV is that Rachida Dati the cabinet minister has given birth to a son. She refused to name the father but Sarkozy's brother was one of the first to visit her and the child in hospital.
