Strikes, bizarre politics, appalling, self-inflicted economic woes... sorry, who were we talking about?
It was always a stereotype about ‘the French’ during my youth: the lazy, bone idle, moody shirker who would down tools after an hour’s graft before sourcing a motorway to block with the family tractor. Yet, despite such crude, yesteryear profiling, I now wonder how the French view us?
And then we have the strikes and worker’s revolt. It used to be the case that if you wanted to post a parcel or catch a train you would simply check the times they were open, or running, and Robert was your mother’s brother. The Google search now, however, is: ‘Which companies are striking this week?’
As we look toward economic Armageddon this winter, banks will take to the fore: whether that be your lenders trying to punish you further as you slip into the abyss, or foodbanks, which will become the last bastion of hope in the upcoming hard times.
