Eric Zemmour, who represents a major threat to Mr Macron in next year’s Presidential election, warned Paris to stop its attempts to bully Britain – branding it a “pathetic mindset”. Mr Macron, smarting at Britain’s refusal to grant what he deems sufficient licences for French boats to operate in UK waters, is threatening a range of punitive measures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These could including restrictions on UK imports, and targeting the energy supplies to the Channel Island of Jersey.<\/p>\n
Right-winger Mr Zemmour said: “The fishing problem should involve negotiations between friends.<\/p>\n
“The French should stop saying the British should pay because they left the EU.“And the British should stop saying the French are worthless and we should get rid of them.”<\/p>\n
Mr Zemmour added: “There should be room for friendly negotiations.<\/p>\n
“I don’t like the mindset of wanting to constantly make the English pay so as to show the other EU states that they should not leave EU. This is a pathetic mindset.”<\/p>\n
