Travelling back over to London on Eurostar last night it seems that France’ s luxury goods continue to be a strong market sector (Louis Vuitton is worth more than Orange). The train was stuffed with Americans and Japanese weighed down with Chanel, Dior, and LV bags.
And provides more than 3 times as many jobs as in Agriculture.

I wonder how many were the genuine article? The latest report I read suggested that fakes now account for over 20% of sales.

Wheat is not essential unless its how you make your income. There are no essential carbohydrates.

I think it was Star Trek or similar…
On board the spacecraft, in the Canteen one “pushed a button” and pills plonked onto the plate… that was lunch !

Dont think it was Star trek, they had replicators that made real food out of a few photons

Red Dwarf or Blake’s 7 perhaps? Star Trek were always replicating Klingon Ale.
The WEF wants us eating bugs and Soylent Green, so a sovereign nation such as France being self-sufficient for food (amongst other things) doesn’t fit their plan.

Most places the same WEF is a toxic organisation.

We already do, that horrible frozen chopped spinach that comes in little blocks always reminds me of Charlton Heston discovering the “truth”.

Most of the signs on my way to work this morning had been turned.

Why did you move to France? It’s one of our main industries. We are back to being no. 1 producer in the world.

LVMH, Kering and l’Oreal all contribute well.
