Proper Protests

[DaddyStu]

Farmers kicking off again in France. Sounds serious this time...

When the journalist asked if Paris needed to be blockaded, Durand answered: "It will happen naturally. Parisians are going to be hungry. The goal is to starve Parisians. That's it".

I remember the French howling with laughter about the 'British malaise' in the 70's and 80's. About how we went on strike for any reason.

Can't say I'm crying to see them suffering.

"French farmers are moving hundreds of tractors into place as a blockade of major roads, termed the "siege of Paris", gets under way.

Similar demonstrations are taking place across the country as part of continuing protests against falling incomes, rising bureaucracy and competition from imports.

Protests are also being held in Belgium and Germany, where tractors are blocking routes leading to Hamburg's port area.

The French authorities say 15,000 police have been mobilised to prevent tractors from entering Paris and other large cities."

Sounds like Brexit is to blame.

Worth mentioning that Parisians and the French are two entirely separate people sharing only geography. Politically, culturally distinct and (with recent immigration) not even sharing the same language.

Price Gouging Bastirts.

They're all at it.

EE sent me a text today to inform me that my mobile contract will be increased by £1.53.
But it's OK as that is online with current inflation.

Companies hike their prices whenever they like.

Joe Public asks his boss for more gruel and is ignored or called too expensive to hire.

Viva la revolution monamees.

France is just bawwing because it's no longer getting its contribution from the UK towards the Crappy Agricultural Policy.
As a result it's having to put retirement age up to like two and a half.

Brexit is theft

Making the rounds on the social medias:

Police set up roadblocks ahead of a protest by Spanish farmers. So the farmers just go through the fields around the roadblock 'cos... tractors ffs
