France Mobilises Troops
As it became apparent today that Irish voters had rejected the Lisbon treaty, France mobilised its army preparatory to invading the recalcitrant island. The action follows the warning given by French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner that Ireland would be "the first victim" if the Lisbon treaty were rejected.
As of going to press, counting has not finished and the French soldiers are as a result only on orange alert.
