EdF Glows With Pride At Radioactiove Take Over
BRITISH Energy is now owned by the free enterprise French. French EdF, 84.8 per cent owned by the French state, bought British Energy for £12.4bn.
Declares The Libération “A nous les vielles centrales anglaises” (The ageing English power stations are all ours). Snotty in victory. It was ever so.
A press conference, then, staged by Gordon Brown’s brother Andrew. So to the Millennium Hotel, London, we go.
This was of course, where Alexander Litvinenko is said to have met with others shortly before his death form radioactive poisoning.
EDF has 58 nuclear reactors on 19 different sites, and produces 88 per cent of France’s electricity.
What more fitting place for a radioactive meeting than the Millennium Hotel? Let the slide who begin, and just as soon as everyone ahs stopped glowing with pride, it will…

Love the last line of the article:
‘Left-wing French unions are complaining that their state-owned French company should act more ruthlessly in conquering markets abroad.’
This is Europe, and we are more civilised; in the US they are waiting for companies to file for bankruptcy, or be nationalised, so they can asset* strip them.
The French have very kindly bought us out and I, for one, will raise a glass to them in acknowledging that Agincourt did both sides great credit.
*Provided, of course, the assets are not ‘Troubled Assets’

‘Union leaders at EDF complained that their company had paid top euro for a struggling company with obsolete equipment.
The deal, they said, could “sink” EDF’

You mean we are at the mercy of the the French Government?
Old age pensioners huddled round the fire burning copies of Le Monde because they can’t afford the electric; I can see the Daily Express articles now.
And really wish I couldn’t…
