I agree with ahinton that all this is rather silly, to say the least, but, in these dire times, we need things to make us snigger and we can certainly rely on The Sun for that ...
I'm not sure which is more remarkable or newsworthy, Nick Clegg being furious with the French, or the UK being officially declared 'worthless', but. oh, the delicious ironies ...
