It ‘s mostly rent a mob who turn up at any opportunity to wind up the CRS. The real protestors are, mostly, complaining about Macrons policies in general.

Typical French balls up - lost all focus. The militant trade unions have far too much power and I think Macron is going to be facing his ‘Thatcher versus the miners’ moment fairly soon.

Diesel is down to 1.40 at our local intermarche from 1.47 last week.

Personally I think the Gilet Jaunes have got it badly wrong and the protests are now being directed by parts of the far right. It's a mess and becoming self-defeating. But I've got no problem at all with some direct action. Without it we wouldn't have many of the rights we regard as normal today.

I love looking at how different methods are deployed for disabling speed cameras. This vid made me laugh.
