I wouldn't call it "strange." Remember, he's not simply a radical environmentalist, he's most likely a radical lefty on all sorts of issues. Denouncing striking workers is something that would give him great consternation, even when they merit it according to his other principles.

Right that was sort of what we were laughing at.

'It is ok if my political allies destroy the environment.  Remember Capitalism causes pollution.

But...the Soviet Union they...

Shuddup you!'

I think that you're reading way too much into the couple of phrases that are mentioned in the article. He's just saying that society gives a greater value to the environment nowadays. Who knows what he said in the whole interview that the journo is summarizing as "worrying".

And I don't like Greenpeace either.

Maybe because it is a stupid statement?  I am pretty sure people would have been upset over 8,000 litres of toxic stuff being dumped into the Seine even 30 years ago.

Yes the environmentalist movement is just a month old dude.

Talk about reaching to find the positive.

The solution is to import a few hundred thousand Chinese lorry drivers, who will happily work for far less.

Organized labour and organized crime are one in the same.

Yeah, I agree with the guys that say this is terrorism.

To Gitmo with them!

We tried this with Blacks.

Is there even organized labor in the Arab world?

I take it you are a big backer of the Israeli Labor party?

That would lead to French officials being the ones dumped into the river.

In my little world, those guys signed their pink slips, since one wouldn't have to worry about employment while inside of a cell, so I think we should applaud them for bringing a decisive conclusion to the standoff.

Funny.

I didn't vote in the last israeli elections (being an amerikkkan and all that), but you know perfectly well that Bibi would have gotten my vote.
