Meanwhile Out In France....

[icecreamicecream]

I see the French are out on strike (again),and disrupting British holidaymakers.Surely Hollande being a socialist president(as well as being French) he would have surrendered to the strikers by now.

zut alors! are you calling monsieur a fromage eating surrender singe?

[icecreamicecream]

Well he must be p1ss1ng a few of them off.I thought socialists were supposed to be on the side of the working class.This socialist called Hollande sure aint.Will the same happen if Millibande gets in i.e.large strikes against a socialist government.

[Samuraisan]

Not only British holiday makers are being inconvenienced, icecream. People from all over the world travel via France in transit.

Wasn't the UK once called the strike capital of Europe? We seem to have lost our title.

[Prudie]

that's just what i was thinking bookbinder. I admit I rarely read what it's all about but it's my perception that French air-traffic controllers are persistently on strike.

[icecreamicecream]

At bookbinder:-yes,we were,until a certain lady called Thatcher managed to drag the working class out of their moribund abyss and into a brighter future.

Labour aren't a socialist Party. Haven't been since 1994.

French Air Traffic Controllers strike whatever Colour of Government is in power. They struck in 2010 under Sarkozy and again in 2013

I love the french culture but I hate some very small things. Firstly their cuisine sucks major time and they refuse to like bacon sandwhiches

Tout se passe en France aujourd'hui

[icecreamicecream]

Didn't think they were,Grom.Looks like if you are working class the only party to back is UKIP.The Tories are disdainful of the workers,Labour ditto,Lib-dems irrelevant,the Greens laughable and up here in Scotland the little Scotlanders are running rampant.So it looks like the UKIP are only ones left.
