Quel sans gêne!

M. Bernie Ecclestone veut bien accepter 75 millions de dollars de nos taxes pour venir faire des millions chez-nous avec ses Formules 1 si polluantes et bruyantes que je les entends jusque chez-moi  à 8 kilomètres du circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.  Nous débourserions 75 millions pour un évènement qui nous rapportera 100 millions en revenus pour nos commerçants qui paieront bien sûr des impôts et M. Ecclestone fera lui aussi des millions...avec notre argent.  Mais voilà, M. Ecclestone ne veut pas payer d'impôts sur ses gains et exige une garantie écrite de la part de nos 3 ordres de gouvernement, sinon, pas de course.
Je dis: "M. Ecclestone, restez chez-vous ou respectez nos lois.  Nous ne sommes plus, et depuis longtemeps, une colonie brittannique."

  1. Bien dit Paul, even if I have doubts he's behaving like that because he still considers Canada a colony. But I might be wrong.

  2. He is just money hungry. Using the word colony was only a way of describing the arrogance of the man when dealing with the authorities in place and the businessmen involved.

  3. Arrogance is sometimes a trait of the British. But there are worse flaws, such as Italian cowardice, for example. So many blows we received from our history, we are slaves in search of a master.

  4. Come on man, what has bitten you today. You should be uplifted by the judgement invalidating the Alfano law. Slaves would have bent low and said:"Ave Silvio, che voglio, per favor?", no?.
    Is that not rebellion against the would bw condottiere?

  5. Paul, it is not a moment of depression, it is mere rational and historical judgement. And this rebellion is tardy and in any case hordes were ready, and are still ready, to serve him. We will see in the next-year regional elections. Of course, I am uplifted by the invalidation of the Alfano law. We are the only Western democracy who accepts a prime minister with such justice problems. He is not willing to resign in any case and will fight like a lion. We are going to see. And believe me, it is not a question of Left or Right. Things in a state, in a country, must have a minimum of decency.
