Perhaps deserves its' own thread. The French do not usually give up in their battle with their own government until they get what they want

The French are a fucking wonderful community. They might stink and eat some gross stuff, but they're an amazingly intelligent and inspirationally anti-authoritarian bunch.
Pisses me off when they get called surrender-monkeys considering how they fought and bled and died alongside us in WWI and got basically bitch-slapped by the might of Hitler in WWII, as we would have but for the grace of the channel / Barbarossa.
I've got nothing but respect for them and their overly hirsute women.

I’m not sure I’d go quite that far, but they do some wonderful civil disobedience, which makes us look cowed 🐄

Three observations.
These riots are really about a rise in fuel tax not 'prices' per se so a direct and unilateral decision by Macron.
The authorities using water cannon for civil disobedience. Didn't that god awful London mayor just sell his off in a picque of political drama for only 11K ? Oops.
I do smile when I remember some on here argueing with me about how popular Little Manu was after his election. What is he now? 24% approval rate. Lowest ever?

Fair play to them, they don't fuck about. I'm torn on this one Tricky. It's the same irresponsible French behaviour that gives us problems at the Channel ports but by the same token slimy arrogant Macron has had something coming to him for a while now.
State of emergency anyone?

Leave the French arm in the barracks and get the German arm to brutalise the populace into submission or better still from what we've seen recently the Spanish Madrid division
