Introduced by JAMES MOSSMAN
They live only twenty-one miles from our shores and they don'even speak English. We fight two wars as allies and they say we are not good enough Europeans to enter the Common Market. What does make a good European in their eyes? How does Pompidou's France regard Britain and its role in the world today?
