About 100 protestors blocked the entrance to the new Primark store in Toulouse, forcing it to close its shutters some 90 minutes early on Wednesday. These people were anti-capitalist agitators, arguing that Primark is a multi-national (Irish) which exploits its suppliers and employees. Whilst not actually being part of the gilets jaunes movement many actually sported the yellow vests "in solidarity" - the exploitation of genuine grievances for political gain.
Many small businesses are feeling a serious loss of income at what is an important time of year and many such small country enterprises are just the people most hit by fuel costs and taxation charges.
