France does seem to be a country of high taxation. Germany is not dissimilar, where it's not unusual for mid to high earners to see 50 percent of their salary gone in deductions. Not so much protestation there, but I understand the people appreciate that they have to pay for very good public services.mysty wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:14 pmAnd that has nothing to do with forum members or albf making a surprise return again
By this time tomorrow, France will have experienced a bad day violence and demonstration wise.
The GJ said its make or break day for them, we are just staying local tomorrow in the Limousin countryside.
The demonstrators do have a point, why should we be paying such high taxes and fuel duty when the superrich like Mogg, Google and the likes avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
A welcome change of direction from Mr Mysty. Well done sir.mysty wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:14 pmAnd that has nothing to do with forum members or albf making a surprise return again

Good luck, hope all goes well; don’t forget to put your GJ on the dashboard!Le Démerdeur wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:29 pmI will be arriving at Coquelles into the thick of it, have clients arriving tomorrow night, can afford 90 minutes of delays beyond that there will be some unhappy campers. Think I have enough diesel for the journey and have a couple of jerrycans in reserve at the hôtel, it will be good to use them as last time lurgies were growing inside.
Never in a million years would I do that and I have scorn for those that did and then criticised the GJ's.Gardengirl wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:58 pmGood luck, hope all goes well; don’t forget to put your GJ on the dashboard!Le Démerdeur wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:29 pmI will be arriving at Coquelles into the thick of it, have clients arriving tomorrow night, can afford 90 minutes of delays beyond that there will be some unhappy campers.
