Idiotic french governent sends out 4,000 state employed monkies to go round undercover buying petrol to
see if garages are charging more at the till.
The operation found 16% of garages charged more, and the garages were told off, in french one assumes.
This vital sting operation cost taxpayers nothing as the functionaires were getting paid anyway.
Of course the real scandal is how diesel was 1,69.99 a litre on Sunday evening, and by 10am monday morning forecourt prices were at 1,99.9.
The fuel bought by the cubic meter in volume was already in supermarket and other retailers fuel tanks and would have been bought at the considerably lower prices. No service stations in France bought fuel on Monday morning following the attack, a group of 288 fonctionaires were able to confirm to french tv earlier.
The french government spokesman, Pierre Pompe confirmed today that this proves the general public, "are mugs". He added with a shrug, "anyway we need the extra money this fraud generated to pay for ski holiday for public sector workers on the sick."
