French Farmers

For the moment it’s pretty confined to the south west. We couldn’t deliver to Montbartier (Montauban) yesterday during the day but after midnight the road blocks were lifted. I can understand the farmers are upset but I don’t understand why they have to set fire to roundabouts and sections of the road which us here in the Lot et Garonne have to pay for afterwards . . . talk about setting the taxpayer against you.

Certain transport firms are also joining in with protests against the hike in diesel prices, I think that’s what the Toulouse manif are particularly concerned with
