A quote from the Berlaymonster blog, 22 September 2006

Proposals to cut 2000 jobs at the European Commission have prompted the institution’s trade unions to issue warning of a strike. With the exception of the fat beggar on Schuman roundabout [where the Berlaymont building, the Commission’s headquarters, is located] who voiced concerns over a day’s lost earnings, nobody who could be contacted this afternoon gave a shit.
