Yellow vest protests 'economic catastrophe' for France - BBC News

Why are you so concerned about France, it's in the EU or do you want to see the same in the UK?

As it is, I've been speaking to friends in France and most of those rioting are your normal run of the mill left and right wing agitators just wanting a ruck, they're not protesting.

Yes, the French are protesting about government policies made by their sovereign government. Just to recap; member states set their own laws, budgets and taxes. Hence council tax and business rates in the UK are excessively high and very low in the rest of the EU were taxes are raised differently.

The UK can opp out of directives; for example all EU countries have a compulsory two year warranty for electrical goods, whereas the UK said that would be very unfair to Dyson because their cleaner fall apart very quickly. The UK only has one year warranty for electrical goods.

Anyway, the French don't like there government polices; they are not protesting against the EU.

Now get mummy to print off the picture below and you can colour in the fruits that conform to EU standards.

Why are they rioting...

Why are they rioting...

I stayed in rural central France in the summer. The complaints from the local were about the same of the rioters:

Non existent pubic transport so you have to use the car.

Fuel prices have rocketed making car travel expensive.

Fuel and electricity prices too high

No local doctors, have to drive to the main town.

Village schools closed down.

Prices have rises faster than wages.

Why does the french government need to raise money?

To pay for repairs caused by its rioters.

Why are they rioting?

1) It's a French tradition to be revolting.
2) The people taking advantage of the protest are instigating the riots in the hope of destabilising the government sufficiently that they can take over.

Why does the french government need to raise money?

Because the French economy is stalled, due to successive governments failing to implement much need reform.Then they can pay for things like:

Public transport,
Local doctors
and
Village schools.

Has there been anything happening in the last five years which now means the French government now has more mouths to feed, more people to cloth, more rooves to be found to be put over people's heads.

Cmon think about it...

How do you think this has impacted the doctors and schools and transport links?
