According to Bloomberg and Sky; French workers have threatened to blow up their plant in a dispute over severance pay. They are also threatening to blow up stock of Renault and Peugeout Citroen unless the carmakers don’t meet their demands for Eur 30,000 severance pay for each employee. They say “We haven’t attached a detonator just yet, the temptation might prove too great”. I Suppose this is the natural next step in evolution in French thought. After you kidnap your bosses until they give into your demands, what's the odd explosion between friends. Can somebody please explain why the French cops haven’t gone in yet with a SWAT team? Oh I forgot; these idiots can do whatever they want as the French Government will cave into their demands. Just as they cave in to the demands of the Farmers and the Fishermen each time they blockade some port or motorway.

It begs the question of whether the bomb will go off if the car parts in question go over 55 MPH. France – what a great place to do business. Their stellar industrial relations would be an asset to any company. No matter how much debt Gordon gets us into, we’re still better off that the idiots next door. The European model will never provide a way of creating jobs and a future for most of its workers. It can only try and defend the old jobs it has in a Canute like fashion.
