Let them eat cake!

For the ruler of the court of Versailles (by whom we mean Mark Thompson and not Louis XVI) it seems that things are going from bad to worse. These days it seems that flunkeys just will not bother getting out of bed for less than 100K and the Third Estate seems disinclined to provide any more funds. Poor King Mark will soon be reduced to typing his own memos and eating takeaways from the local chippy.

Then again it turns out that expense claims have gone up a remarkable 60% in just three months. Perhaps the flunkeys are just recovering thier foregone bonuses by another means.

Meanwhile the peasants have no bread. About time for a storming of the gates?
