    I'm in full accord with the French in this matter, if not much else...

    Unfortunately though I find I'm currently far too busy to go on strike. (My boss may disagree, appearances could suggest I'm on strike already...)

    Would it be possible for me to nominate one of our unemployed persons or sickness beneficiaries, if not actually committing a crime at that particular moment, to stand in (sit in?) on my behalf?

    That is exactly what they are doing. The OCR is an indicator of how much money the Government is prepared to print - the lower it goes, the faster the printing-presses are rolling.

    This is Keynesian economics - the government prints more money. It finds its way into the economy as Govt Bonds, Govt spending, or by loans to banks to finance the deficit between the money the banks have loaned, and the banks cash reserves.

    Its actually a form of taxation, described by my Keynes himself as being a tax so clever that less than one in a million would realise he was being taxed.

    Yep, taxing by lowering the value of their money.

    If ya gonna put any energy into your response to the 'economic crisis', can I suggest you get some mates together and go stateside to kick those well paid bankers arses that created all this mess in the first place.

    Far more effective, if not satisfying.

    ok...
    First, not only Paris bt the whole France in on strike.
    Second, fucking Nicolas 'bullshiteur' Sarkozy is a dangerous cunt who, because he failed getting France out of the crisis, is cutting out any opposition both at the governement and by selecting himself the director of the public television channels and press in general. And so on...Only way to protest now is strike, even for opposition politicians ((
    Third, our cheese is kicking the ass of your cheese haha!
    Finally, strike is a tradition in France lol, especially train drivers. I would even say it's a national sport lol!

    I should stay in NZ ..getting scary over there now...

    *gone hide somewhere...dont throw banana at me please*

    Yes, their own government.

    Roll a foreign one across the border and they'll play along quite nicely.

    The French Republic was born through striking against the monarchy, it's in their blood. Ours was born from sheep farmers breeding sheep.


    Go figure.

    Hahah - I shall not try - I shall Succeed! I loved to play this game with my Anglo Saxon colleagues in London.

    The Angles came from France and the Saxons came from Germany. This means that you my friend are half German and Half French - the real English are Celts and the Real Scots are Woad (Picts).

    enjoy your camembert and bratwurst!

    Not to be pedantic, but...

    That's not strictly correct - Angles came from Angeln in northern germany.

    Also, the invaders from normandy lead by Wilhelm the Conquerer were Normans - essentially resettled Vikings from Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

    Furthermore, the celtic culture originated in central Europe. Actually, it's all pretty complicated... ok, let's forgo historical correctness and stay with the perceived stereotypes.

    FUCK THE FRENCH WHAT HAVE THEY EVER DONE FOR US? If they aren't eating animals not suited for food they're busy blowing up pacific islands with nuclear weapons or trading with corrupt regimes such as Iraq. And they don't know how to make cars either...

    Butt out bacon boy - Can't you see I'm baiting Englishmen? I don't have any kebabs I can refuse to sell them so I have to bait them in other ways. Fuxache - it's getting harder to be a troll these days. Gimme back my bridge!
