So now he has abandoned fuel tax rises and given half the Country a pay rise what next?

The yellow vests will now sense blood. What next?
And what about the economics of this?

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.
