Calm economic rhetoric, Nick Clegg tells French PM

[Jimbuna]

It looks like matters haven't simmered down yet.

Sarkozy is up for re-election in about four months time so I suspect the little fella is behind all this.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has told the French prime minister that steps should be taken to "calm the rhetoric" on the UK economy.
Mr Clegg told Francois Fillon that remarks from members of the French government "were simply unacceptable".
French finance minister Francois Baroin earlier described the UK's economic situation as "very worrying."
