France is now finally tackling its overly rigid labour market. And most importantly, your not a member of the Euro area anyway, and will never have to be - you got a permanent opt out. So let's be fair on this.

Contrary to your view, the population of France, that I have experienced during my second visit there in the past 6 weeks, is in revolt against their own elites.
People with whom I interacted showed great disdain for the Euro currency and all things associated with it; sure thing, this is just a random sample of people, but real people such as those at camp sites and manning reception desks at hotels.
Clearly you circulate among others.
Regarding your adherence to your economic theories; they are thoroughly dis-credited and are just a part of the problem offering simply more of the same old, same old, same old .......................... All related to the TINA syndrome churned out by the vested interests.
(take a look at the economic crisis thread).

Will this be because the atmosphere will catch fire and a plauge of frogs will descend or because there will be fewer immigrants needing somewhere to rent for the few hours they aren't at Sports Direct?

Another $, another day:-
today it is the price of your Easyjet holiday which will sky-rocket according to our esteemed leader who has been delivering this message to the coralled Easyjet employees - the same company which leapt in with a letter to all employees with the usual blah, blah, blah.

While travelling in France recently I saw the piles of tyres and stocks of timber stacked at key "rond point" during street demonstrations.
Not something that is reported here though:-

I also experienced the start of the queues at the fuel stations in the vicinity of Rouen, last Saturday.
At the time I thought it was just the rush to the pumps before Sunday closures.
Footnote: there are some very good contributions in the comments to that blog; far better than the junk perpetrated by the professional writers in the MSM for instance.
The same blogger tears into the stuff about pollsters (we all recall how well they did last year during the UK general election and how contrite those pollsters became after such monumental cockups made in their chosen trade).

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
