Some people don’t like the idea of other people going on strike, it seems the French have a different attitude, with over a third of the country backing the strike.

that means that two thirds are against it !!!!    it seems to be a very french thing to strike a lot , their country their ways I suppose , but why do people focus on UK problems when other places have plenty of issues as well !!!!

A third of a country's  population backing a strike is unheard of in many places, Personally I focus on UK problems because I work and live here. Why wouldn't I focus on it?

All we need now is BigJ bleating on about the sh1t state of our great nation (most likely because of Brexit (God bless our good fortune) or planning regs, or heaven forbid, rain) whilst simultaneously COMPLETELY IGNORING the equal strife that is occurring elsewhere (wholly unaffected by Brexit) but just as meaningful and real….

 

No fuel and a national strike in France but not a  saucisson Of news about this until some chummy phones in to LBC and tells us about it.

I like BigJ's patter and would miss it. Having a position or taking a view gets re-inforced when contrasting degrees and opposites are put up.

 

It's like me pointing out it's raining all the time. It doesn't mean I don't like the sun 🤣

 

Nothing to stop us taking turns replying to his epistles by saying such things as "It's a good job you've emigrated then!"
