breizh Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 TF1 and TV2 20.15. The Dwarf will make a speech and will answer questions from a couple of hand picked journo mates, to explain that he has saved the EUR.Don't expect Paxman!As for whether the 3rd, or is the 4th, "final comprehensive package" will save the EUR I won't comment. Just to say, bad politicians do not make good economics. Just kicking the can down the street, hopefully til after Sarkel/Merkozy get their elections out the way.

breizh Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 There was one bit which made me sit up and concentrate. When he was talking about TVA, he referred specifically to goods and services. Leaves the door open for TVA increases on food, energy, restaurants, building work, etc.Has been talked about in the French media. That would lead me to think that those stories were authorised by him, and after he's re-elected (dear dog, NO), TVA will be full rate on everything.

Pommier Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'd say that the restaurants deserve the rate to go back up. When it was reduced there were very few price cuts; all I saw were a very small number of restaurants cut the price of children's meals by a small amount.

TWINKLE Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Oh! And how ridiculous and completely 'à côté de la plaque' was he when he made comparisons with the european crisis meetings and the Vatican conclave scenes from the tv series 'Borgia' currently being aired on Canal plus. Does he think that everyone in France has a budget to cover monthly payments for satelite tv? He's a clown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 He did send me to sleep !!Yes, the Borgia allusion was ridiculous.........Patronizing..And constantly referring to A Merkel... does he have a new crush ? [;-)] [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I wanted to watch it but it had already been on by the time I knocked off. I thought every program started at 20.45 in France, what on earth are they playing at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Na, Chancer, when the President speaks to the nation, it is usually at 8.00, last night it was 8.15, so it was later than usual !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard51 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I find the poster with the swastika very offensive for obvious reasons. I'm aware that Germany and France are just looking after themselves, but it does mean that they (and others) will be paying for the past ridiculous salaries of Greek government employees!
