First thing that will happen is that somebody on Millersmad will start a new thread about it, even though there will be lots of other threads on the same topic

You've literally just described France at the moment.

I seriously cannot tell you how much people are hating Macron here. Yesterday thearmy was posted in Paris to stop the people damaging buildings and property. Now all protests in France have to registered any that aren't the police have the right to fine everyone 25€ for being there.

The fuel prices have been raised again and prices in general have gone up. The social changes are coming into force and are looking simular to the UK system. It's a better system but the French people will lose out.

Macron is not going to get elected again but he'll walk into a top job at the EU.

If only the press would report about the similarities.

In or out of the EU, the heads of the European states are a band of warring brothers/sisters trying to screw the workers by pushing through their austerity programmes. In France that has met large scale resistance in various ways. In the UK some of that discontent has been expressed by people starting repetitive threads about it all on football websites (for some unknown reason). Once upon a time the UK was not in the EU, then it joined. The day after it joined, was there a noticeable difference to everyday life, other than it being easier to go on holiday abroad? I don't remember any tanks in the streets

Don’t remember tanks Mike? You never saw Ray Mielczareck play centre half then? Tackled like a Panzer division

The Revolution will not be televised.

Don't you think it feels like its dying down here though? In January I was driving past the pickets, and the toll roads and speed cameras were down, there was a big presence, now it just seems to be more confined to Paris. I did see an abandoned yellow vest behind my parking space in Chamonix last week though, just not groups of people wearing them.

I drove past a gilet jaune camp at Albertville a few weeks ago. It was quite impressive - they had a barbecue going and a little gazebo with chairs in where they were sitting and drinking bottled beer. A chap by the roadside offered me a leaflet, but didn’t start rioting when I declined it. I appreciate that Paris has seen some more lively protesting.
