"Clashes erupt in Paris as 'yellow vests' protest at unrepentant Macron" - http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-fr...s-protest-at-unrepentant-macron-idUKKCN1OZ0EQ
All is not well in the paradise called the EU.
Good luck to those bank workers being reassigned from London to Paris hehehe.
'Government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux escaped from his office through a back door after a small number of protesters broke into the compound and smashed up vehicles.'
ROFL.
In a few months time, this will read:
Goldman Sachs worker Benjamin Griveaux escaped from his office through a back door after a small number of protesters broke into the compound and smashed up vehicles.
Lol, yeah demonstrators get a lot of leeway in France, especially when they are unionized workers - they got a slap on the wrist for the event below, and unions were scandalized at such a "hash sentence" which might well have been turned during appeal, I didn't follow.

But don't worry too much about investment bankers in Paris, overall they enjoy a sweet life. I used to live there in a very posh and trendy downtown area which was also a magnet for demonstrations and you kinda learned to live with the protests or large public events, while enjoying life much of the time. Not sure how it has changed over the last few years, between terrorists events and apparently the worst protests since 1968, but pretty sure it's still a good place to live when you are not broke.
London has a couple of trillion of assets coming in and out every day.
Good to hear u had a good time in Paris. Fwiw I've enjoyed Paris too.But don't worry too much about investment bankers in Paris, overall they enjoy a sweet life.

I dunno about protests years ago but apparently the protesters are using petrol bombs etc these days.
I'm not worried about the finance guys and girls who are moving from relatively peaceful London to riotous Paris...im sure they will have a blast of a time! Lol.

I am not in Paris, but I am currently in France. It is not as bad as the news portrays it. Yea there are yellow jackets at some round-abouts, mostly handing out candies, asking people to sign a petition for the tenth time, smoking cigarettes and hitting the flask to stay warm.
Everybody here knows that besides the legit 'yellow-jacket' protesters there are the 'black-jackets' - hoody wearing welfare hoodlum anarchists who mix in with any protest in order to break and vandalize shit.
Even on the main protest day in November I went to the Toulouse airport to pick up a friend from the UK, only added 30 minutes to a 4 hour RT. Not a big deal, when in the US I suffer traffic in LA, SF and Seattle that is worse then that.
Nothing to see here people, move along.
The sky is not falling, well, except maybe in the UK.

I ran into this same effect when visiting Greece during the worst of the financial crisis when currency controls were supposedly causing lines at every ATM and non-stop protests. In 3 weeks I never waited more than a minute at an ATM, all had money, and the only protest I saw looked more like parties. And yet the English language media was still showing it as a nonstop riot.I am not in Paris, but I am currently in France. It is not as bad as the news portrays it.

Um, well the rioting and petrol bombing is scheduled every weekend in Paris. You need to go there, that's where the action is and the sky is falling down.I am not in Paris,
Like the other guy, you shoulda gone to the capital of the country to witness the nonstop riot which in this case was Athens.I ran into this same effect when visiting Greece during the worst of the financial crisis when currency controls were supposedly causing lines at every ATM and non-stop protests.

That's comforting to know, thanks.Everybody here knows that besides the legit 'yellow-jacket' protesters there are the 'black-jackets' - hoody wearing welfare hoodlum anarchists who mix in with any protest in order to break and vandalize shit.
