Then again, it's typical French attitude: if the rules suit us, then fine; otherwise, we'll just ignore them
What did the Public Prosecutor really expect to achieve by organising an
Untouchables-style raid at
easyjet ORY (apart from the sick satisfaction of having his 15 minutes of fame)? Since when do you need Gendarmes to enforce labour law? I can't imagine that a more civilised request wouldn't have yielded the same result. I can't imagine either such an unnecessary show of force by the UK CAA. Welcome to the EU's only banana republic.

P.S.: I
am French - and ashamed of such arrogant behaviour, which only serves to reinforce all the usual cliches about the French.
