    Well spotted. I missed the link. Nothing very tangible it appears, just the ‘handling of the crisis’.

    Yawn…

    Anyone got any jokes that aren’t 70 years old, and that might actually be funny?

    Meanwhile, people in Britain just sat in front of their tellies, moaning…

    Several things people are protesting about
    Most important is the 324 billions € of tax payer money the **** we french have as head of state has given to the banks.
    Then comes the endless reduction in public services.
    Then comes the fact people are getting poorer each day.

    Generally it’s against the this piece of shite called capitalism really.
    And so on and so on.

    I work with some frenchies, and they pointed out that strikes in france are often about morals, working practices, ethics etc.. whereas the british just strike when they want more money.

    i was tempted to agree, but in the end i just told them to get on with their work 😉

    I wonder what this has cost the tax paying in lost revenue, overtime for Police and damage to property.

    Probably less than the 324 billions €.

    So Juan, basically, the same sort of things that are currently going on in Britain, except that the French workers are actually making their voices heard, rather than grumbling to themselves about it?

    Ah, thought so…

    Capitalism, don’t you just love it.

    Wait until a board of complete strangers decide they want more money from the shares of your company and decide to make you redundant and delocalise in china.

    Whatever it is, I’m sure that the money the French government makes from EDF British customers will more than cover any costs.

    So you could say that British taxpayers will be paying the costs.

    Yeah the French are right mugs. I bet that they look at us with real envy as we sit back whinge like ****, and do nothing.

    “the French are revolting”

    Finally, someone realises!

    With reference to the Surrender Monkey jokes above, on QI the other night Stephen Fry{no less} quoted some statistical Academic study that showed France had won more conflicts than any other nation.

    So why do those otherwise entertaining chaps on Top Gear bang on about the myth of the French running away all the time, which leads to little Englanders on here doing the same?

    Can we not please get on with our lives rather than constantly referring back to the two world wars? {During both of which GREAT Britain didn’t exactly do that well until Uncle Sam jumped in}

    France had won more conflicts than any other nation.
    yada yada yada….statistics.
    This is only because they started more than any other nation. Breathing garlic over everybody and p1ssing in the street. Not suprised they get into a pagga or two.

    What’s with the Francophobia, anyway? Should we not be trying to appease our Yerpean neighbours, considering they are the largest foreign investors in this country?

    juan you have to admit the French policies for pensions and job security are nuts though, and completely unworkable.

    Mind you if I had similar rights I would fight like hell to keep them as they are so pro-employee and anti-employer that once they are gone they will never come back.

    For example, where I work a few years ago they shut down an office in Grenoble and laid everyone off as it was no longer needed, and the redundancy packages they had to offer to all the employees in order to close down this redundant office was 3 1/2years pay, and the French employees still bitched it was too small.
