New treaties on defence and nuclear joint working with France marked a "new chapter" in a long history of defence co-operation, David Cameron has said.

A UK centre will develop nuclear testing technology while one in France carries it out and there are plans for a joint army expeditionary force.

After signing the treaties with Nicolas Sarkozy, the UK PM said it would make citizens safer and would save money.

But Labour suggested it could limit the UK's ability to act independently.

Have I said Sarkozy is a nutter?

Well, I seem to recall you thinking that parcel bomb was a missed opportunity

Well I cant remember that. But you would have far more info on that score being French. So do we all now refer to him as the nutter in the forums?
