French Strikers

Sorry but I just HAVE to vent my anger!!!!!!!!


YET AGAIN for the 11th or 12th time this year Operation Stack has been put in place, this time because of ****** strikes in Calais port!

I am FED UP of not being able to drive to and from places in this part of Kent without being impeded by large stacks of lorries on the motorway and all the other motorway traffic being diverted onto the other roads and holding everybody up.

It's about time Blair got off his backside and sorted the French out once and for all!

Not only is it a nightmare for local residents but it's costing a fortune, not least for the police whose time is spent directing traffic.

What's more our council tax is going to fund said police!

What more can I say but: :mad: :mad: :mad:

For a minute then I thought you might have been referring to the likes of Theirry Henry, David Trezeguet, Louis Saha and Nicolas Anelka.

:rotfl: - at my own joke! How sad, so very sad.

Sorry, I'll just get my coat.

I thought the same thing too fatboyonadiet.

No-one ever has come up with a good reason for liking frogs.

Mr Spendless has been away a lot on business this year in Dover and he was saying exactly same thing thing Bridie.

He has been hoping to take advantage of being at a business meeting in Dover by nipping across to Calais for some cheap beer beforehand - he just daren't do it in case he get stuck in France -lol.

The French, in their totally selfish, arrogant way, have no comprehension that globalism will be their downfall.

Why would any rational multi-national company set up a business in France under all their socialist burdens, when they could easily pop over to Eastern Europe where most workers would be more than glad to take their jobs at much lower pay?

The French went to the 35 hour work week under the fantasy that the required hours of labour in the total economy would remain constant, so even more positions would have to open up as a result of the existing workforce working fewer hours, and unemployment would go down.

Well, surprise, surprise!, in a global (or even pan-European!) economy things don't work that way; production will migrate to where the costs are lowest, and the French are pricing themselves right out of the market.

Vive La France! (NOT!):rolleyes:

Agree with them or not at least they put up a fight unlike the British who accept pretty much whatever poor deal is offered. Perhaps we're more realistic or is it that we believe we wont get anywhere so dont bother trying?
