no doubt somebody will delete the addition "He is anti-French as we can see at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7942086.stm (an article with no reference) justifying well his family name." for some reason or other, but before someone does so, i would say that little´s jingoistic anti-gallicism, and attempt at british superciliousness, is well documented by the piece cited. Little must have learned very little about France, or indeed about geopolitics, when he was Paris correspondent for the BBC.

Let us hope Little also comes to challenge his own myths. Compromiso (talk) 10:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
