The nanny-state giveth and the nanny-state taketh away - the peasants revolt with their pitchforks.

This protest has nothing to do with MI6.... that's a conspiracy theory you're making.

The ruling elites of the UK actually want to remain in the EU and the UK Prime Minister is betraying the British people with her lousy Brexit deal. The politically-correct, the establishment, and the UK mainstream media (there's BBC editors and journalists who are secret MI5 and MI6 agents,) are on the side of their EU overlords.

It's mostly the ordinary folk and the working-class people who voted for Brexit.... something the ruling elite are against. The British establishment and their government controlled media has consistently put out endless fearmongering and propaganda against Brexit;- the British establishment doesn't support Brexit.

The French are renowned for protesting against things. I admire this about the French culture because they stand-up for themselves. It's not some staged protest against the French government;- the French people are genuinely angry.

The English and French have an Entente Cordiale agreement in place for over a century now. We celebrate this peace and cooperation agreement between our nations each year with large banquets hosted at Windsor Castle by the Queen and the French President. French and UK flags line the streets each year with French and British military troop parades to celebrate the Entente Cordiale and the friendship between our two nations.

Our nations are allies today and both the UK and France are powerful G7 nations. We're not enemies... the hundred years war between England and France was a long time ago! Times have changed;- this is the 21st century now.

The average French citiizen usually hates everything that comes from the UK. There has never been a politician as anglophobic as Charles de Gaulle.
On the other hand, the whole press of the UK is furiously pro Brexit: The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Times... all of them, but The Guardian.

France protests: PM Philippe suspends fuel tax rises

Fuel tax rises which have led to weeks of violent protests in France have now been postponed for six months.

The move was announced in a televised address by PM Edouard Philippe, who said anyone would have "to be deaf or blind" not to hear or see the anger.

The protests have hit major cities, causing damage and disruption over the past three weekends.

The "gilets jaunes" (yellow vest) protests have now grown to reflect more widespread anger at the government.

French schools blocked as students join 'Yellow Vest' action

Students across France have disrupted lessons and blocked about 100 high schools on Monday to denounce education reform and support "Yellow Vests" movement against high living costs.

High-school students that oppose changes to college and the university system seized on the mood of "Yellow Vests" action to step up blockades in many schools across French cities, including Toulouse and Paris suburbs where they clashed with anti-riot police.

In Aubervilliers, northern Paris suburbs, hundreds of young people quit schools and walked out to the street chanting "Macron, Resign". Scores of them were arrested after they torched a vehicle and set bins on fire, according to state-run radio France info.

Violent standoffs were also reported in Bordeaux, southwestern France and eastern French town of Dijon where students threw various projectile at police officers, who responded by firing tear gas.

"Pretexts are clearly being used to commit urban violence," an official at education authority in Creteil, southeast of Paris, was quoted as saying by France info radio.
