France has yet again (tuesday ) had a day of massive strikes demos and occupations..against pension 'reform' that would see workers HAVE to work 40 years to get a full pension..

hundreds of thousends marched in Paris and after demonstators got too close to the National Assembly police and protesters fought battle in the tear gas and watercannon in the Place de la Concorde ..also the Opera ( i think) was invaded by protesters.

there is also a nationwide wave of occupations of workplaces universities and town halls and
a new general strike is i think being called for Thursday

this is big..and just across the channel...and something they want to do to us too...
