John Mullen in France wrote this after the events of Saturday but before the back-down (at least for the time being) by Macron on imposing the fuel tax. He says, among other things: ‘Macron’s pathetic excuse for the fuel tax rises is the environment, whereas in fact he is busy closing down thousands of kilometres of regional railway lines, cutting the funding for local government, and slashing the social housing programmes which allow employees to live near their workplaces. So it would be good to draw the links.’
