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.

Thugs hijacking the protest, damaging property and putting people out of work is not what most protesters want to do

BBC Text :[The FT Weekend leads on a fiery image
of the "turmoil in France" as Bordeaux's town hall was set on fire in a protest over pensions. The unrest has continued as Emmanuel Macron has doubled down on the government's plan to raise the pension age from 62 to 64.] |

French President Emmanuel Macron has been criticised after he removed a luxury watch during an interview about pension changes.
France is gripped by protests and strikes over Mr Macron's decision to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Mr Macron's representatives said the president took off the watch because it was "clinking on the table". But his critics have claimed the watch shows he is out of touch with the public. Some wrongly claimed it was worth up to €80,000 ($86,000; £70,000), but the Élysée Palace said this was not correct. The incident happened part way through an interview on Wednesday, when Mr Macron was justifying his reasons for lifting the pension age. As he rested his forearms on the table, a thud could be heard. The president then placed his hands under the table as he continued talking. When he brought them back up, the watch had been removed. His team insisted the removal was entirely innocent. But the missing timepiece quickly drew his critics' attention. |

Little is said about our own UK retirement age.
It was raised to 66 a few years ago, and in 2028 it will be raised again to 67. Why raised twice in such a short space of time? |

In France it's not like the UK. They now have a young underclass who go along and smash Windows and start fires. Their Petrol is too High to buy now. A good Newsmaker Report was just on TRTworldHD Ch513 on SkyHD |
