An important part of living in France is realising that people in this still rather desirable patch of earth are never happy. Cycling to and from work today, I slalomed round a number of vociferous gatherings but couldn't work out whether or not they were connected. Back at Château Fingers I typed
Manifestations Toulouse 17 novembre into a search engine and waited for enlightenment. Ready? Here goes:
1) Allées Jean Jaurès: Demonstration in support of Palestine. For a change.
2) Place Esquirol: Demonstration against gay marriage and adoption.
3) Saint-Cyprien: Demonstration against the expulsion of squatters and repatriation of Roms. By the
Etat bourgeois, of course. It's there in black and white; you couldn't make it up.
Have a look. They're all cheesed off.
