Very interesting insight.https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/01/11/the-gilet...
Well worth reading.
The trouble is, with AI and robotics only just starting to revolutionise industry, skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled jobs will be further eroded. Which really does beg the question of what on earth anyone can do with mass immigration, even if people arriving are relatively well educated. This is a situation where there are two dynamics working in opposing directions.
How many fully armed French Riot police does it take to beat up an unarmed French woman begging them to stop.
It appears to be 6.

I do hope that this goes viral in France, as it does demonstrate who the real Fascists are.

Ten W/E in a row, little to no coverage from the MSM over here as yet more major clashes with the riot police. Reports that there are forces from other EU states involved circulating, but can not find verification. There are however private security contractors working with the French police confirmed by alternative media.

Must say it comes to something when the live feed from RT on YouTube is a better way of gauging the story than the little coverage MSM gives. Thousands of people protesting in many locations is not fake news and surely deserves a decent mention in MSM?Probably don't want us to get any ideas.

Difficult to verify for a reason?I live in France. When it all started off and for a couple of weeks thereafter there were quite a few problems getting to the shops and schools were closed. Since Christmas the only yellow vests I've seen have been in the front of peoples cars and on cyclists.
On the other hand the media here of all sorts are reporting on it extensively as well as Macron's Grand Debat but strangely not as much about Brexit and nothing at all about the protests outside parliament. They must be hiding it from us. Oh no maybe it's just that it isn't the most important thing in our respective countries and maybe sometimes you have to dig in to the media reporting a little rather than being spoon-fed.

Perfectly reasonable explanation 20 years ago. We've got wall to wall 24 hour rolling news channels now so desperate for something to report on that they'll drag in people from dance shows to talk to.Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. They must be out of travel budget or I'd be looking for a flight to Greece if I were them at the moment.

Second one is from the weekend before last......
It's OK, Macron is bringing back national service for 16 year olds, that will sort it all out, mix them altogether at 16 and they will not begrudge each other later in life.

At least French farmers are only committing suicide at a rate of one every other day now, in 2016 it was one a day, so things are looking up, or maybe there are so few left?
Globalism and EU subsidies to the wealthiest companies do allow cheaper food at the supermarket, but is it really worth it?

Same here, I live in the North of France and apart from a few manifestations (not really anything that wasn't happening before the gilet-jaunes) it's all gone pretty quiet, still lots of yellow vests in cars though and a general resentment at Macron and his government...On the other hand the media here of all sorts are reporting on it extensively as well as Macron's Grand Debat but strangely not as much about Brexit and nothing at all about the protests outside parliament.

How about your location so people can look up just how honest this post is ?.
As to the media coverage being because its of little interest, last nights BBC news carried a story for nearly 10mins on the situation in Tanzania, but didn`t bother covering the tenth week of street riots that have resulted in thousands of arrests, serious injury and a death count in double figures, all happening in our closest neighbour country.
There were protests again in London by the way, but that never got a mention ;0).

i think the cries are from a woman looking on. it looks like a bloke being beaten up. i don't know how anyone could stand and watch that happen without intervening. It appears to be 6.

Its not that simple when the police are acting more like an army of occupation, you will find that the UK police force are fast heading this way. People are now filming police interactions that show a clear "Them and us" mentality, where any desire to help has been replaced with looking for excuses to throw their weight around, not all of them, but enough that it should be of concern.
