Gotta love the French. No 9ne has been on the this round a bout since Saturday (even though they went home for lunch), now tonight,they've re-lit the bonny and they're there 50 / 60 handed. As if Macron is gonna know they're making a handful f folk late home from work......
Apparently "all of France" are heading to Paris on the 25th for a mass demo....0 -
Perhaps the French army should be making contingency plans to patrol the streets, in case it becomes necessary to shoot their own people.0

Why would they do that?MountsfieldPark said:Perhaps the French army should be making contingency plans to patrol the streets, in case it becomes necessary to shoot their own people.
They'll just wait for the demonstrators to go home for their 2 hour lunch.

"Frenchman got a problem
He don't mind throwing a brick
Brits watch reality TV
Where they teach you how to be thick.
And everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail.
Brit riot
I wanna riot
Brit riot
A riot of my own."
With apologies to Mick Jones and Joe Strummer.
NB for people under 50s or who went to public school this is not a serious political statement.12 -

Are there two different protests going on?
Keep hearing about the Yellow Jacket Protest but then I see hashtags for some #giletsjaunes Protest as well?
What’s going on out there?
Confused from Sidcup13 -
Why don’t they just shoot the rioters. It might sound a bit harsh but it will teach them a lesson to obey the government and be grateful for what they have. And to stop being naughty.

Well worth reading this Twitter thread from Simon Kuper- some of you may have read his footie books, but now he writes for the FT and lives in Paris. Really good, putting it into context and resisting a rush to judgment
