The French are pissed

Adamantium

Having promised that he would not run again if unemployment rates remain high, French President Francois Hollande faces not just record low approval ratings but feces-flinging-farmers. In a show of protest against expressing their anger at collapsing prices (due in part to sanctions against Russia), increased ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, cheap imports, and high costs, thousands took to THE STREETS, dumping pumpkins, potatoes, and carrots, burning cars, flinging apples, and spraying **** all over a government building in Toulouse. The French are not amused...

Yeah, but the French do this kind of thing all the time.

Give it some time, they'll surrender soon enough.

Those French, always drinking too much wine.

There's a that reason "Vive la révolution!" is a thing that people say, rather than "Long live the revolution".

I got caught up in a farmer's protest in the Loire region a few years ago.

The farmers congested the motorways in massive slow moving convoys, then peeled off into this particular large town. Then they systematically went to each large supermarket, blockaded the carparks and went inside where they stole all of the milk and all of the beer. They brought both back outside where they proceeded to pour every drop of milk down the drain while they drank all the beer. Then onto the next town....

Cops did nothing but protect other traffic from approaching the supermarkets.

Well in fairness el presidento is particularly, nay, spectacularly inept.

I'll enjoy not living in France thanks very much.

You've got to respect Hollande in some respects though, he's set himself a target to improve his country and if he doesn't do it he will resign. Pitty more politicians wouldn't do the same.

The French have the best military record in modern history. Stop parroting English and American anti French nonsense.

What do you consider modern history? (Not disagreeing, genuinely asking)

French farmers realise what our farmers seem to miss: No Farmers, no food. No food, no people. They use this fact to leverage a better deal for themselves. Our farmers need to start using their leverage. And their poo..

Sorry, I've this unremovable search engine that has been downloaded onto my computer (that I can't remove no matter what I do)and it highlights and cap locks key words on pages that are most likely to be searched, so I copied on pasted without editing. It means that even as I read this thread, it looks like you're shouting at me.

But your not.


Oh god, I hope not

They must be getting paid negative amounts of money if they're better off dumping some produce.
Or not.

Maybe if you gave your own opinion, using your own words instead of just copying and pasting from other sites, you mightn't have this problem.

Why does anti-French sentiment get such a following on Irish social media? Considering it is one of the nicest places in Europe to live in I can only assume that many contributors are blindly following the Anglo American tabloid media.

My parents use to take in exchange students, a few bad apples put a stop to that. When we got Italians everything was fine. Then I worked in retail in Galway for almost 10 years. So dealt a lot with French tourists. Most of them were very difficult.

Then I started working for a large multi-national and had dealings with some guys in a branch office in France and that was a major pain in the arse. I also had problems with a group of French lads over in Galway for the summer, one year. They would act the pr1ck to American and Australian lads because of where they were from. The started to make me form an distrust of the French..not really a dislike, per se.

I'm over it now though.

I wonder how long it would have been before British surrender had the Nazis been able to launch a blitzkrieg across land.

Your logic only works in an autarky, neither Ireland or France are autarkies...

I'm glad you got over your bout of racism.

If only the Irish had half the courage of the French maybe we wouldn't keep getting screwed over by our supposed betters.

That's true, while it's easy to jump in with the usual old surrender jibes. No nation has taken it up the ass like we have in recent years.

Thanks, My love of Jesus got me through...though, All of my negative interactions were with white French people and I'm also white..so I don't think that can be called racism. But I still appreciate the support

It means that an economy is self sufficient.

If a country can continue what it's doing without any external assistance or outside trade, then, it's in a state of Autarky.
