Macron Says Does Not Want to See New Brexit Delay
President Emmanuel Macron declared Friday that France does not want to see Britain's departure from the European Union delayed beyond October 31 now that a divorce agreement has been reached.
"I think the October 31 date should be respected. I don't think that new deadlines should be given. We need to end these negotiations and get on negotiating the future relationship," he said.

The EU cannot extend the deadline except by a unanimous vote. The AFP was going to tell you that, but had to go out for coffee with a fascinating character they met at a bar in Bern.
Macron was not threatening to send the Legion Etrangere to settle things, in a replay of French intervention in 1485 when its troops delivered England into the hands of the Tudors over the fallen Richard III at Bosworth field.
