Olivier Besancourt the thirty year old mousturizer using Trotskyist who championed radical left hopes in the General Election last year & who did surprisingly well and winning 4.08% or 1,498,581 votes, & thus came fifth in Presidential candidates just behind Le Pen, & then rousingly called on French people to vote for Segolene Royal, has this evening called on French workers to a "General Strike".

The call has been made as the Socialist lead of the first round of local elections at 47% has risen to a victory of 49.5% when all candidates of the left are put in one category just as if they are, which of course they aren't. Less than twenty five minutes this brave & rousing call was made - your indymedia ireland site reports it to you. Which just goes to show how au fait the modern lefty of either Trotskyist or non-mousturizer variety is with new technology.
