Parti Socialiste


I'm finding it difficult to have any respect for the Socialist Party in France (but then why should you? - Ed). First they try to win a presidential election (for the third time) with a range of policies that have repeatedly been rebuffed and now they are considering an alliance with a party that will win at the most four seats. Ségolène Royal is very attractive and I'd give her one (my vote) anytime but purleese stop and think mes braves. Think about the reasons why you keep losing elections. Maybe, just maybe, your political message is out of date. Look what Blair did with the socialist party in the UK. He pretended to be socialist, stole all the Tory policies and then won three elections. Let me at her, I'll show her how to win an election. Having said that I'm not sure that she'd pay the price! (if you know what I mean.)

Despite warnings about an airport strike in France, mum's plane touched down on schedule at Nîmes today. Good old Ryanair. We sneaked our way into the baggage hall to help her with her bags only to find that she was nowhere to be seen. If you remember I had the same problem in Tenerife last April. I checked everywhere and what made matters worse was I could see that the immigration police had packed up and gone away. Anyway, out of curiosity I looked out towards the plane only to see her being given a ride in a wheelchair towards the terminal building. She loved it. I asked her if she had asked for the chair and she said no, they just offered. Good old Ryanair.
