He obviously thinks he can use the threat of inflation to squeeze more work out of the people. Disgusting - take with one hand, then take with the other.

I know --- Let's all work 23 hours and 59 minutes a day, then it doesn't matter how much inflation goes up. We will all die anyway. Good idea Msr. Sarky. What a brilliant mind. On a parr with our own Leadership, dare I say.

Wasn't it the French government a few years ago that wanted to arrest people who worked too long hours so breaking EU law?
