Office riots

Seen a clip of unhappy employees smashing up an office and a tire manufacturing plant in France. Missed out on what caused the riot but no doubt its got to do with them losing there jobs.

Only matter of time before situations like this arise here. Just heard some whispers of the future budget.... MAD MAX times are coming...

Don't forget France is the home of the French revolution, the Terror and St Bartolemews Day massacre. They are prone to acts of great violence which,mercifully, quickly pass and go into history. At other times they are capable of great social organisation and cohesion:- Their public transport, Health service and public support for science and technology are the envy of the world.
If we Irish resorted to such levels of violence it would last a long time and lead to long bitterness and rancour.
We do not forgive and forget easily.
The civil war and the northern troubles are cases in point, the former still being the main division in our party political system, the latter having gone on for more than 30 years, involving and taking all the efforts of the US and the UK to resolve.
We cannot afford to let our collective anger boil over into physical force or violence against people or property. The world and its investors won't need much prompting to bring up the ghosts of the troubles, wartime isolation and the civil war which represent the bad side of the Irish character.
