Today I went to have a drink with my friend Guy around 4 o'clock. The Place de la Concorde was blocked by demonstrators as part of the Gilets Jaunes mouvement in France. They are protesting against the cost of Diesel and Petrol because they have often chosen to live in remote areas and are therefore dependent on their car. I don't have much sympathy for the movement but I don't have a problem with the fact they are demonstrating. Actually I wish the government would just let them demonstrate without involving the police. The whole thing would be much less dramatic if we just ignored it. It should be possible to adapt our activities for a day or two to slightly more challenging driving conditions (or even better not drive at all).
