The BBC is reporting that a shareholder group has launched a “French-style class action” lawsuit against EADS, the 80% parent company troubled planemaker Airbus.
Meanwhile, French right-winger Jean-Marie Le Pen has decided to add his voice to the fray, calling for embattled Airbus co-executive Noel Forgeard to be sent to a monastery.
"I think that if I was a shareholder there wouldn't be a shadow of a doubt. I would send him off to the Benedictines (monks) to learn a bit of moderation, thought and wisdom."
Not quite “Get thee to a nunnery” but close enough that if we were in Forgeard’s place we’d want to keep in mind how Ophelia ends up in Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The Monastery would probably not work for this sly frog; send him to prison and a year of hard labor; this way he should have learnt not foolishly claim that he does not know the problems at airbus and get rich on the way up at shareholders expenses.
His german counterpart is a lot smarter and more honest.
