French riot police clash with protesting firefighters in Paris


Everyone, the world over, may be dying from Chinese take-aways, but here in France everything is perfectly normal.

The CRS (riot police) may be running-out of Tear Gas, the water cannons running out of water, and the Yellow Jackets running out of protesters, but everyone still hates everyone else, or wants to work less hours for more money; life goes on as usual.

So, how about a fist-fight between the CRS and the Gendarmes, Doctors against Dentists, or Bakers against Candlestick makers.... it could be arranged!



p.s. The Firemen were protesting about 'better working conditions'; they're complaining that wherever they're sent, it always seems to be on bloody fire!

  2. There was a good bit of video the other day... the firemen brought their own water cannon... one of the airport fire tenders, its tanks filled with water, not foaming agent!!
    They looked to be having a whale of a time... riot shields are no defence against water cannon!! Like a game of nine pins..............

  3. There is probably some kind of violence in people looking for a way out, anywhere in the world.

  4. Looking at the video, it looks a bit rehearsed to me. Like they were all in a film, not real.

    1. The video doesn't really show the full scale violence of the occasion. It was a real battle.

    Our media don't bother reporting such things as the EU is wonderful.

    1. I don't suppose that the UK has been very interested about the goings-on in mainland Europe recently; too busy dealing with Brexo.
