FRENCH STUDENTS STRIKE AGAINST THEIR OWN SELF-INTEREST

Who would ever think of staging a strike against a service which someone else is giving you (at least in part) for free?

Why, French socialists, that's who.

Students in France are striking against their own university:


... hundreds of students at Paris university staged a strike to protest at Sarkozy's plans to reform France's higher education system.

Around 500 students voted to support the strike action and protesters immediately blocked access to the Tolbiac annexe of the Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne university.

"There were no courses and pickets have been set up after the vote," said a spokesperson for the student union.
