LET THEM EAT CAKE

The tanker drivers’ dispute is the result of the latest attempt to reduce the wages and benefits of a group of workers.  Degraded pensions, minimum wages, cheap illegal labour and part time work, all in the name of reducing costs, is the price that is being paid by the ordinary citizen.  Meanwhile, the bankers (not rhyming slang) walk away with obscene bonuses and wages (whilst ignoring investors’ protests) …………. and the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have not’ grows.  Mon Dieu, I’m sure this happened somewhere before.  Still, I’ll just keep sharpening this guillotine blade and get the tumbrels on order.
