WARNING.....WARNING. !!!!!
There may be some truth in this message; there may not.
I have just been sent this short video, and knowing the French Trade Unions, I am taking it 'reasonably' seriously.
If you are travelling to France on (or after) the 22nd, it may be worth checking that we're still open for business!

From her YouTube channel seems very problematic person.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything else from her; maybe she's just yet another troublemaker.
DeleteHow odd. An Englishwomen in Denmark talking about France. She certainly doesn't like Macron.
ReplyDeleteNot many people do like Macron. He promised the world, then delivered nothing (like so many).
DeleteThe lady in question is definitely right-wing, and I suspect it is more in hope than reality she is wishing for. Still if France does goes AWOL on 22nd June be sure to stock up Cro though Haddock will be there.
ReplyDeleteWe do our shopping on Fridays, so we'll be making sure we have a full tank of petrol etc; even if it is a false trail.
DeleteI saw a poll on Breitbart the other day which said amongst other things that only 1 in 4 French people trust their news media. Breitbart refers to Corbyn as a Far Left Politician in connection with an upcoming court case alleging anti-semitism. So a couple of things there to chew on whatever one thinks of Breitbart. Personally in these days of heavy Internet censorship I think it's required reading.
ReplyDeleteI tend to treat such videos as suspicious, unless they are from a guaranteed source. It will be interesting to see if she is correct.
DeleteA Pew Research Survey found that 4% of French people trust their media a lot. Mind you that was in April. If you add the trust the news media 'somewhat' you can claim 1 in 3 French people have some trust. But obviously the trend is down. Top of the poll are the Germans 20% (trust a lot!). The Americans of course trust in God. ;-/
DeleteI owe Breirbart an apology. I checked and the story is from Reuters. It was picked up by Free West Media.
DeleteFrance and Ireland are to swop energy via the Celtic Connector, the link is being funded by the EU all about being prepared for when the UK leaves the community.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this woman is basing her rumours on this ?
I'm beginning to suspect that she's just trying to spread rumours. There may well be one or two strikes, but no-one here has mentioned anything.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePOURING here; I think we'll be staying indoors all day.
DeleteThe sunshine has returned here. Back to normal.
DeleteI think it's stopped. It's even looking brighter!
DeletePlease let us know if we need to send a Red Cross parcel 😏
ReplyDeletePork pies, Marmalade, Bacon, Kippers, Pork Scratchings, Marmite, and a few Crumpets please!
DeleteThe French power company EDF are building the new nuclear plant here and have said that if all British households pay an extra £6 a year, they will not have to borrow anymore money from the government. Sorry, when I say 'borrow', I mean 'take'. People seem to have forgotten that taking money from a government is taking money from the people it is supposed to be governing for the good of all, but since we do not currently have a government it doesn't make a lot of difference.
ReplyDeleteI really cannot understand how the government allowed EDF to carve-up the UK's power supply. I would have thought that all utilities should have been 'ring-fenced'.
DeleteNow you sound like your hero, Jeremy Corbyn.
DeleteSuspect that any bidding for any contract had to be done the EU Way! Can't buy inhouse/incountry anymore unless, of course, you are French or German.
ReplyDeleteOf course. I remember when Vodafone bought Germany's main mobile phone Co, it was forced to sell Orange to the French.
DeleteYears ago, British Telecom made an 'investment' by buying a French telephone system which the sellers knew to be obsolete. They paid a fortune for it and it was never used. B.T. was warned about it but went ahead with the purchase anyway.
