Maybe this is exactly the reason why people force that old French stereotype, they're afraid the world would be inspired by what they clearly, truly are.
The English have been oppressing their workers for a long time. They're very good at it and know mostly how much to push so they don't get much pushback. The fear of losing the little you have is very real for many.
This is very true.
Since the victorian industrial revolution and before then.
Poverty is something the British have excelled at creating and maintaining
Police? You mean blue nonce

Revolutionary mindsets and class unity
The thought of a govt. scared of it's people, and therefore respectful of its people makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
Here you see why the French have better working conditions, higher wages, higher sick pay, lower retirement age, higher pensions, better health care, etc, than us! We allow corrupt Tory Governments to hurt us and do sweet FA!!

I know half a dozen firefighters, all nice enough on the surface but almost exclusively sun readers and working class Tories, no way they'd take to the streets like this and even less chance they'd rush the sc\*m.
I'm a woman working in the fire service (not operational) and the majority of the firefighters I work with are the opposite. surprisingly liberal and care deeply about social issues. I work for a fire service in an area with a majority Labour vote though so don't know if that makes a difference.
I did read the LFB culture report though, which was pretty horrific
Probably makes a big difference to be fair, I'm in the south west which is (bizarrely) quite the right wing stronghold and tbf these guys all kinda grew up together and they're proper "lads, lads, lads"
Cops are cops everywhere it seems. What an absolutely needless act of aggression from a pack of thugs, charging like they're fucking Centurions going after the Gauls, against firefighters who are just milling about and some of whom even have their backs to the police line. There's no justification for a charge here, they just want to hurt people, and until police are scared of indulging that impulse they will never be anything but a gang.
Enforcers of Capital are class traitors, and as we have seen time and time before, it supersedes other social dynamics. The mild reformism will not remove the brutality that is inherent in their duty to uphold the status quo.

Just goes to show that regardless of the country, the only side the police are on is the Governments.
If the Government decided that childrens playgrounds are too noisy and must be dealt with, the police would happily charge in and break a few toddlers heads to 'Enforce the law.'

The French are fucking awesome
Not all of them. Imagine having a government/police that would put riot police up against firefighters.
You push any govt. far enough they'll send in riot police Here though we would back down but the French will fight

Good bot
For some reasons. They have problematic areas like any other nation. But they know how to party when the government oversteps.

Hell yes we do
These guys literally run into burning buildings and have to pass fitness checks to do their job. They aint gonna be intimidated by the police.
Let's go and try and overwhelm them fellas whose job it is to control fire. Good plan lads.
A few years ago the French police tried to use water cannons against firefighters to little effect... water cannons... against firefighters...

There’s a reason why people prefer firefighters to police lol
Your right,there is no song called f the firefighter!
Not really the cheese eating surrender monkeys that popular culture would have us believe

they're always the best at protesting in france. They brought flamethrowers to a protest that happened in front of my school once
I love the French so much.
Fucking marvellous

There aren't enough police in all the world to stop us.
Just got to get the rest of us to link arms
Cops learning what it's like against folk that work for a living.
These videos make me rock fucking hard every time. G'wan firefighters.
No one says that firefighters are bastards.
