NI increases kick in this month.. the masses are in uproar.

[Bike Breaker]

Neither French contract or Netherlands contract crews were sacked according to shipping mag Sea Breezes. Just the UK then. (I think their contracts were actually issued in Jersey ).

Is there some new and convoluted way we can blame The French for this?

I'm sure you know that continental Europe used to be connected by land to the British Isles. Someone must have dug out that channel and filled it with water to create difficulties for us to access their place. I suspect the most likely candidates are those we've been fighting for millennia. Oh! Would that be the French?

Undoubtedly, hence "après-moi le deluge".

And I thought it was generally regarded as verboten to go back to the 80s to blame Thatcher but this goes back to before the last ice age. Well done. Ilike yer thinking, Irie can likely remember them filling it in

I looked at a French paper on why French workers weren't sacked and it said it was harder to do it in France but they then printed rules which didn't look much different, I'm not sure why they needed to mention the rule about sex with an unknown person on a business trip.
Maybe it is as simple as the UK workers were being paid significantly more and nobody wants to admit it.

Ahh, that must be because of the massive wage rise all the UK P&O workers got as soon as we left the EU...LOL.

Given that the French unemployment rate is ~7.4%, roughly double the UK unemployment rate of ~3.9%, it's very puzzling that UK workers were fired whereas French workers kept their jobs.

Could it possibly have anything to do with the "Code du Travail" which is probably the main reason the French state is slowly going bankrupt?
