This will not be reported by the BBC or Sky, who would give Europe a totally clean bill of health, even if Napolean was marching north to conquer Russia!

Have you seen what pensions are like in France ? Crazy if you had three kids you used to be able to retire at 50

France is no sustainable in terms of pensions etc plus people where I live go on regularly into their 90’s It’s beautiful man

Don't they work or 4 day week in France? Only get 4/5 of a pension
 
From what I have read...pensions here are based on your salary from the last couple of years you work, and Macron wants to change that to base your pension on your average salary from your entire working life. It doesn't take much to provoke a strike/a bit of social unrest here so this won't be the last of it. Similar strikes from SNCF (another train company) a week on Tuesday.
 
If you're representative of left-leaning tolerance and enlightenment, WWR, then I'll take my chances with Jim Davidson. :)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for balance where it’s warranted but they take it too far when they bring on some flat Earth nutter to argue against a climate change scientist for fear of appearing biased just as they’ll wheel out Tim Brexitspoon to shout about some totally illogical Brexit wins.

No idea where I live in the Old Languedoc they may do 3 days at best and not sure my neighbours know what pensions are
But my main neighbour Jackie and his wife both retired at 50
The goat lady and her flock seem to work 8 Things aren’t comparable at all as most work is done by 10 here, lunch is still 2 hours and everyone goes to sleep in the afternoon.

French modern city life I have no real idea as I live in a very remote area.

I have just been told it’s still ongoing in Béziers I think it’s a time out but it will kick off soon remember most of France was still on holiday until last week

Good point. I'll look for them tomorrow. I live near Nation (big square that they like to protest in) so usually have my area swamped with Gendarmarie when protests happen.
