But when you've paid extortionate tax for years and then the script gets flipped I understand why the french are angry.
The French and UK really aren't comparable on this topic.
French wages are so low and taxes are so high, but they have so many social benefits compared to the UK.
Literally in France if you lose your job the state pays you your previous wage up to 2.5k euros per month for up to 2 years whilst you look for other work.
The French are scared all these things are being taken away from them and they are still left with ****ty wages and high taxes.
That is why they fight.

I think the French are great, they protest for their rights, here in the UK we are far too passive. I turn 50 this year and I can access a pension as I was in it before they made the reforms that allowed you to access your private pension at 55, now they are thinking this is a bad idea as alot of people are retiring early so from 2028 that will rise to 57 ...and it will continue to rise
