Now they're going for a repeal of the much hated and derided 80 KPH limit. The trouble with Macron and others of his ilk is they believe the electorate begin and end at the cities edge. Now he's learning the error of his ways.

There comes a time when the populace have had enough, even by British standards.
Those in government across the EU have made a mess of the continent. I don't need to highlight why, we all know why.

Good on them.

Civil unrest is a result of ignoring the people. Bring it on and F&^* the rabble we have running our countries.

The only time a government listens is when the people get to the streets. It has so far failed in Germany with all the sexual violence., so perhaps a turning point is in progress.

According to the #fbpe loons they live in a paradise! The yellow vests next demand is stopping the free movement of people. Will he cave on that as well?
