squeezed, wrung-out, spin dried...put through a mangle", "Bread and
water will be the new 'haute cuisine'...","Social injustice strangled

"...Next year's budget is going to bring tears to the eyes of the
average French tax-payer. He or she is going to be squeezed, wrung-
out, spin-dried and then put through a mangle. There will be cuts in
just about every sphere of social and political existence. Bread and
water will be the new "haute cuisine".

Communist l'Humanité has a front-page cartoon of an unfortunate being
devoured by his own wallet, and the headline "Social injustice,
strangled growth".

Catholic La Croix goes for the more sobre approach with "Spending
down, taxes up".

Then there's the security story, ...recently revealed the existence of
a Pakistani plot to launch terrorist attacks across Europe.

And then there's the electric car, making front-page news with the
opening, today, of the Paris Motor Show. The new generation of
vehicles may be good news for the environment, even if the electricity
to make them go comes from coal-guzzling or nuclear generators. The
electric car is certainly good news for the motor industry, which no
longer has to worry about the price of petrol or the imminent end of
fossil fuels. The problem is that the new gizmos are going to be very
heavy, very expensive and won't go very far without being plugged in
for a feed..."
