And when Hollande says he's going to stop it and then doesn't cos it's all about jobs for the boys, the hypocrisy gets me even more.<br /><br />I'm a member of the Contribuables Associes who are working to ban the accumulation of mandats but it's a long uphill struggle. No one wants to give up the perks of multiple salaries, but it really is the last straw that they punish a poor fonctionnaire cleaner.

When I had a lot of dealings with French government I used to get the same feeling in fact.
