French protests. Live link.
 

Thank you Parmy
for a Live Link



It is getting Nasty
as Police are getting violent.

Live Feed still going

As it gets less light
Fires in the Street are starting.

Arise, children of the Fatherland
Our day of glory has arrived
Against us the bloody flag of tyranny
is raised; the bloody flag is raised.
Do you hear, in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They’re coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your comrades!

To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions
Let’s march, let’s march
That their impure blood
Should water our fields

Getting Dark there now
on Parmys Live Link

Now Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come...

Bordeaux town hall on fire. quite shocking, but also admirable that the protesters wont stand for the bull****.

They always go all out on their protests, as the only war the French can win unaided is a civil war.

the french sure know how to do a protest

Is this about raising the retirement age to 63...meanwhile in the UK its heading for 68...thank you Sir 3 bags full Sir :douf:

… and they officially live longer over there apparently

I presume because they are not driven into an early grave by working so long :laugh:

Yes but you will now have to collect the full 45 years (or what ever it is) of working to be able to claim, so if you went to university you now aren’t retiring until 69/70 in France

why no protests in UK then, working until 68 is more of a farce


no here the french are acting like too spoiled children


retirement at 63 or a retirement at 68, where it's gonna be at in UK


:joker:


keep standing your ground my dear french government

The Rubbish Strike there

well i would easily make the protests stop

protest goers: booooooo no rise of retirement age to 63

me: can always go more up to 68, so do you want to keep complaining

protest goers: don't make them go up at all

me: ok i count to 3, either 63 or 68, you decide

protest goers: but

me: no buts, make a choice or we make a choice for you

protest goers: we'll stop and accept that at 63


:laugh2:

That made me chuckle :laugh:

Macron is pushing to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. The bill would also require 43 years of work to be eligible to receive a full pension at 64, otherwise individuals would have to wait until they are 67.

Polling shows the majority of French people oppose Macron's plan, which raises the age when workers start collecting a government pension by two years. The retirement age moves from 62 to 64 for most workers, and from 57 to 59 for garbage collectors.

The new conditions would apply to those born in or after 1968. However, workers born in 1961, who were supposed to retire this year, would have to work three extra months.

it's not just the fact he wants to raise the retirement age, it's that he bypassed democracy to achieve it, by not allowing a vote in parliament. We all know what the french did last time they felt they were not being heard :laugh:

But who works 43 solid years with out a break? Or even those who work in other countries so many french working in london not working towards their 43 years. So many french also commute everyday to Switzerland and Luxembourg to earn a better wage. People won’t be able to retire until after 70 under this new law.

No one relies on a state pension any more and that has been the case for decades ...if you are French and working in the UK you will be automatcally enrolled into a private pension if employed and will also be eligible for some state UK pension
