This my learned friends is yet another example of why socialism doesn’t work. It’s great on paper, but when people realise that they have to pay for it, the concept of the haves and have nots all living together in harmony goes out the Effin window.

Suddenly it’s “ why am I paying for you?”

Politics can’t trump human nature.
France isn't socialist, not sure where you've got that idea from.
The Government tends to hold more strategic stakes in companies compared to the UK but that's been reducing under Macron.
