woolybanana Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 There is a general strike planned on Tuesday by at least the CGT, that bunch of self serving commies. It will concern mainly fonctionnaires, public and transport services.This, of course, has nothing to do with the members but is being called because the Unions do not know what the heck to do about the gilets jaunes who have totally out shone them and taken their place proving that they are totally useless and unnecessary. Which means that their comfy rice bowls might be broken and they might have to get real jobs.Of course, some of us might be inconvenienced.

richard51 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 From this post and your pm - Why are your so against social positions/views. Also so peeed off by being so inconvenienced? In your own words you have seen at first hand the results of the obscene violence towards Palestinians in the occupied Palestine. yet you feel that it is a waste of time to complain because Trump and Netanyahu are rampant in the Middle East at the moment.I think that your view is pathetic for not saying what you have see or indeed you do not defend the oppressed.My OH has seen "settlers" pouring burnng battery acid oil over Palestinians in Hebron and IDF soldiers (Defence?) doing nothing and infact saying to my OH rather nasty threatening things if she said anything further. Same happens on the internet, Period.Please dont delete this post - share if you feel it is going to get some improved life for the oppressed. Don't share if its going to lead to the usual cry of antisemitism. Israel is ...../.... IMHO.Really I am totally frustrated. If I was a a Palestinian and subjected to what is going on there then ...........NB I am white and English by race apparently.NB please note that independent observers in Hebron are being removed by Israel- easy to guess why. NB2 - The First post-brexit deal apparently has been agreed with Israel - goodness and Saudi is next. Bril l!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Richard, how is this relevant to my post about the upcoming general strike in France?My comments in a private message were not for general distribution, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Lack of any social thought.I pm'ed you - my first and hoping not to get into another "entertaining" argument. Your reply was as I described - say one thing to me and another to others - a bit political and quite sad to me.Tell what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 You will put your blood pressure through the roof Richard if you dont calm down. Should you not be organizing the boycott of Israeli goods at least or teaching at Hebron University?Not pontificating about my views or lack of them.

richard51 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 What are your views after actually going to the occupied territories .UNFORTUNATELY OUTSIDERS HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN TEACHING IN HEBRON.Yes, more people should boycott a vile racist state.And that is not being antisemitic.

Judith Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Market day today, La Poste open, thought, so much for grèves, but on way back saw the notice - exceptionellement fermé cet a/m. Quelle surprise - not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 The union members are less than happy with their unions, particularly the CGT, and seem to hope they will get better representation from the GJ movement. It is interesting that the unions and the left wing politicians like Melenchon are desperately trying to link to the GJs who have rejected them as irrelevant, self serving.....Social change seldom comes from big organisations.

NormanH Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 My dear boy even you should realise that to use the word 'commie' as you might in your local Conservative Club as an insult really won't wash in France with its different history of the Communist Party.http://fracademic.com/dic.nsf/frwiki/1297016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thank you young man, I shall have a read of that. What is a Conservative Club, by the way? The only one I have ever been in was burning furiously and I as a junior reporter ran inside, with the agreement of the firemen and got tons of details plus the cause (it was arson) whilst the photographer got *great pics.Bu gger health and safety, but then it was a long time ago.
