Le Monde encourages the UK to stay, published in the English language

A leading French newspaper urges us not to break up the closeness we have had for 200 years. I agree with nearly every word. We are TOO intelligent and proud surely to succumb to the likes of Nigel Farage and people like him who spew hate.

Le Monde then took aim at Ukip leader Nigel Farage, urging the Brits to steer clear of the politician and his policies for an exit from the EU.

"The country which cornered Napoleon cannot succumb to Nigel Farage. Today, we solemnly say to our friends across the Channel: beware, Brexit could be your Waterloo!" it said.

"Messieurs les Anglais, don’t let the sirens of a fake independence pull you away from the continent. Just as in 1815, your future is in Europe."
