First I have heard of it. Where did you see that?

Wouldn't surprise me as Sarkozy has been braying on about improving Frances border controls. They suffer the same problem as Britain - being seen as the land of milk and honey by those less fortunate. It always surprises me, even after all these years, that the Portuguese/Spain border and the Spain/France border are devoid of border staff.

Bit of news from our shores. On Spanish TV today it was "leaked" that the government was considering making all of its motorways toll roads. It was quickly withdrawn. It isn't just the British government that tests public opinion by leaking proposals.

Think this was just a temporary change ahead of the ECB meeting in Barcelona.

That makes sense. They turned out 8000 police to quell any protests outside that ECB meeting. The cost of it all!
