One of the first acts Sarkozy did when he came to power was to give a £10 billion tax break to the rich. Didn't go down well with the French... Bolshie lot that they are! But like the rest of us, they are caught between the jaws of pincers: on the right, economic deprivation (and ultimately meltdown), ensuing from the plunder, violence and destruction wreaked on the country and its people by the Haves; and on the left, the spiritual deprivation and its attendant moral chaos and violence, wreaked by the left, very busily feathering their own nests as well.
Anyway, here is an article from today's (UK) Daily Mail concerning Sarkozy, yet another paragon of real class, so characteristic of the far right. Not.
