Macron mocks injured 73 year old protester

At least the government supported brutality in putting down dissent will have impressed the Chinese leader...
It's a fair point, he is after all an expert on the fragility of 73 year old women, having been married to one a few years back, (now in her 80s!)https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/25/macr...

He is an undeserving recipient. Much maligned as Napoleon might be, he did, nonetheless, risk and achieve a great deal in his time.
This little grub on the other hand...
In Poland they still think fondly of Napoleon - had a few amusing discussions on the Napoleonic era with Polish friends.This little grub on the other hand...

Has this died out completely now as a mass protest?
Presume just the usual trouble makers involved?
Just the usual troublemakers now. Battered pensioners who are mocked by Macron, working class outside of Paris who are desperate to have their voices heard. Army on the streets with authorisation to open fire on civilians, chemical weapons cleared for use on French citizens... things are hunky-dory.Presume just the usual trouble makers involved?

I'm lovin' the 'has this died out' tosh.
Look! Over there! A minky on a guillotine!
The BBC and The Guardian under-reporting something doesn't mean it's not happening. Under-reporting doesn't mean not reporting btw.

Macron is now going after Civil Servants. So the Strike season will start early
Magnifique!Macron is playing a blinder
What he misses is that France is essentially ungovernable.
He's not governing an ungovernable country with a certain lack of éclat.

I'm not sure they need the army, we were in Paris a couple of weeks ago when the vests came bowling across the Seine, the gendarmes waiting to "greet" them were monsters all 6' plus tall and about the same wide with full body armour, I wouldn't want to upset them!gareth h said:

They were probably C.R.S., Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité,they do not f**k about, they eat gendarmes for petit dejeuner!
I once asked two of them a question, (in French), by the Quai d’Orsay.
One said, “Foutre le camp!” (F**k off!), I thanked him, and complied.

No no no. They aren’t protesting, their cars have broken down. Besides there’s only 5 of them, it’s the camera angle that’s deceiving.(Think that covers the denial)
