French politics recently can only be described by one word.
Omni shambles.
On the shambles, that's what you are.
You're like that coffee machine.
Yeah, On the Shambles, a gay, complete and utter mismanagement, flailing about,
made famous in the British comedy show The Thick of It,
the political satire from The Guy Who Brought Us Veep.
Well, this word moved across the English Channel to Paris.
Over the past two years, France has had five prime ministers ousted or resigned.
The latest, Sebastian Le Corneux, was reinstated by President Emmanuel Macron in October,
and that was just four days after Le Corneux's resignation.
People embarrassed of what they did best about this whole situation.
They protested loudly.
Sounds like a good old-fashioned omnishambles.
Indeed.
Vintage.
