Because I'm a biker I've joined in three of the bikers manifestations, as they are called, over here to protest about half baked government ideas.

Tens of thousands of bikers are involved right across the country in all the big towns.

In every case the government has backed down and shelved their plans.

The brits seem to just roll over and play dead as the government steam rollers their way over them.




PS. The bikers action in France not only achieves the desired result but is a bit of fun too on the side. Lol.


Never been through so many red traffic lights or ridden so far down the wrong side of the road.

Parked in the middle of thousands of other bikers in the middle of the main road, at traffic lights and shopping centres.---Cheered on by all the car drivers who have been held up by all the bikers.--Incredible.

I can think of to me something funny as a reply but may not go down too well. I got it from my son at a Coldplay concert in Paris in 2017

Otherwise it's this lot below outside your front door.---

It's been cut short, - he then looks down and is shocked when he realises he is standing in water.
