Brit press shows bare cheek to France

Sky News and BBC News 24 are pulling out all the stops today with live coverage of the Sarko circus as it hits Windsor. It's hard to imagine such a fuss being made over Angela Merkel, say. Of course it can have nothing to do with "la première dame" Carla - and that picture. Meanwhile Monkey - or should that be Singe? - has been scouring the French press for their musings on today's visit. Liberation has some wry observations about the UK papers' obsession with the picture of Carla dans le buff - that's "complètement nue" in the original French. "La presse anglaise ne serait pas la presse anglaise sans les tabloïds," it notes, adding - and no translation is required here - "Shocking et so British!" Has the Entente ever been so, oh, je ne sais pas... Cordiale?
