Total are a French owned company, so I've been boycotting them for as long as I can remember anyway.

I don't drink wine, nor eat stinky cheese, there are plenty of other good roads in Europe that I wouldn't drive their badly built cars on and I can't ski.

No great loss to me then!

Total are increasing production. They have stated that no jobs are at risk.

I wish people would actually listen to the situation, not just the media.

There are hundreds of thousands of british workers all over Europe, would'nt we be the first to complain if they kicked us out. We can't have it all ways, contracts are won and lost on price, so if the British firms lose out because they are too expensive then they need to put in lower tenders thats the way its always worked. There are hundred of contracts all over europe (and the world) that British firms have won so it balances itself out.
Are we asking here that every one should go home to work in their own country only, because thats what it would mean, think about it.
