Funnily enough, I remember TB announcing a cut back in the Civil Service sometime last year.

I don't see a new winter of discontent being an 'oh dear'. If it gets rid of this shower of sh1te I'd have this as an 'Oh YES!!!!!'

I've had 10 fooking years of discontent with these coonts.

Yes! Joyous news indeed... er, wait a moment, which soft-as-tulipe country will those sacked Froggy workers be heading for? Bonjour, mes amis!

Indeed. The question is whether he, with a double majority, goes down as the first French PM in living memory who stands up to the unions, or just goes down...or does an EU fudge and claims victory while 'la difference française' remains as it is.
