France Bans Mobile Phones During Cabinet Sessions

French President Francois Hollande has imposed a ban on mobile phones during cabinet sessions, forcing ministers to leave their devices at the door. The move is designed to help "focus on what we must do," a spokesperson said, and will ensure that government folk "talk and listen to what is said and will no longer be able to tap away at this magnificent tool." French politicians have indeed been caught fiddling on devices when they should be, you know, executing the will of the people.
