RE the protests in France about government plans to increase the retirement age in that country. I do not always agree with the French people’s actions against their government’s policy.
However, apart from any violent action, you have to admire their solidarity.
They do try to stand up and protest about what they feel to be unjust while in this country we let such as water and electricity companies do as they please with price rises. The trouble is, it is French and German companies we sold out to. It’s rather ironic in a way.
