Pitchforks optional but recommended. Get a load of Paris:
Paris may lose its trademark glow next year after plans emerged to extinguish its street lighting at night to save money.
French President Francois Hollande and his energy minister Delphine Batho are considering turning out the lights in and outside public buildings, offices and shops in the early hours of the morning.
If the scheme goes ahead, late-night revellers in the city would be advised to carry torches if they venture out between the hours of 1 and 7am.
Somewhere in Paris, Madame Defarge knits…
Ironic irony, ain’t it? A nuclear reactor in every field but they can’t light their capital. Perhaps they can raise the rich people’s taxes to pay for … oh, wait.
Viva la poor people of Paris!!
Let them eat cake!
