Either way, if you don't think France has industrial disputes then you clearly pay no attention to current affairs. French workers get laid off all the time. It's not uncommon for a company to close a French factory and retain a British one - or vice versa.

There are a huge number of variables.

What pissed me off, is as soon as this news breaks, the usual lot on twitter and elsewhere circle like ganets trying to swoop down to make the story about them and how righteous they were in 2016 even though the story is absolutely fck all to do with it. It's so disengenuous. People who actually give a toss will be spending their time offering sympathy or trying to find solutions
You’ve got to acknowledge that after the two votes in the seventies there were people who resolved to get us out of what was then the Common Market and they chipped away and chipped away for decades until there was a complacent prime minister willing to give them a vote on membership. A precedent has therefore been created and those who most wanted us to remain are never going to sit idly by and accept that we’re out for ever. Farage said a 52/48 vote to remain would see him continuing to campaign to come out, so why should the other side be expected to behave differently?
