To think the French students are out of control?

OP.

You ask if the riots are out of control.

I think they are absolutely controlled by those who wish France-and indeed the West-harm.

It has happened a few times in England. Never about welfare cuts.
That is just punching down to say those in welfare are violent, when time after time left wing educated individuals are showing violent behaviour.

I am an art and history lover and all that, but what’s striking to me is when the same people stay silent when people burn houses and hotels in working class areas inhabited by POC.

I have noticed an increase in churches mysteriously burning down and grave yards being destroyed.
It is going to spread. Europe is a tinderbox. Government officials have ignored mass immigration and stretched services.

You know it’s happened relatively recently though, right? When was it, 2010?

Oddly, I think that you would only see people on the streets in the UK, if you cut welfare, materially.

So, that’s not going to happen, is it…

And the deep racial inequalities in France

I haven’t seen that but did see a poor distraught woman saying stop this is not the cause. They went in anyway.

The responsibility lies with those people smashing things up.

I only hope the powers that be are geared up for any copycat rioting here - I’m sure various factions are drooling at the thought of destroying a few lovely London landmarks, and egging on lowlifes to loot to their hearts’ content.

I was in a French town a few weeks ago and the church had been damaged by arsonists. The locals said everyone knew who had done it but the authorities have the “electrical fault” excuse at the ready.

Looking at TV it does look like the Left of centre politicians (mainly LFI) and their associated Syndicats (CGT etc) are digging their heels in on right to protest/awful police brutality.

I get the constitutional angle behind this but I'm not sure they seem to realise or worse still even care that they are probably handing next year's Presidential to the RN on plate

Did you see the horrifying images of the elderly couple stripped to their underwear?
I won't post the link as they've been degraded enough, but I've got it saved if anyone doesn't believe me.

Looting shops is ‘funny’ is it?
All a jolly wheeze while it happens to others, not so fucking amusing if you’re a shop worker / owner being attacked or an 80 year old couple caught up in it and robbed by feral scum.
How would you like to be caught up in it, maybe having a chimney pot thrown off a roof land on your head? Hilarious right?
The only funny thing I saw was two thugs getting flattened by a falling plate glass window they were trying to smash.

All of the men running these countries are trying to destabilise the world for power. Israel and US are working together so will do whatever benefits them, Russia and China likewise. They all want to distract from personal failures and make their countries look stable in comparison.

Clearly the work of Camille and Jean-Jacques, two school children who just wanted smaller classes. It’s the obvious thing to do: torch the historic town hall while shouting about education provision. 🙄

Nothing to do with the far-left in France organising a violent attempt at breakdown in civic society, oh no.

And now Greta Thunberg has been inserted into it.

I felt really sad watching the fire. The destruction of a beautiful irreplaceable building built in the late 1800’s.

Is it Russia? Allegedly Trump was behind the scenes in Morocco.
Is it Trump? Is it Netanyahu? Is it Ursula the witch or the 1% mystical billionaire club? Or EU leaders.
The destabilisation of Europe is here. If Putin wanted to take over Europe he wouldn’t fill it up with mass immigration first. A lot of Russian people are racist. If the plan was to conquer Europe they wouldn’t fill it with fighting age, unskilled brown men. It doesn’t make sense.
Slovakia and Poland are being penalised for not accepting this.
Classrooms are overloaded, students aren’t learning with the overcapacity.

So, the poster referred to exactly that young person and asked 3 questions about parental responsibility. I answered one. You then responded also about parental responsibility and demanded I answer the other two questions. You now appear to be saying it has nothing do to with parental responsibility because the young person is 17.

Not interested in trying to discuss something with someone whose only aim is to win and who will bend everything that's said to further that aim.

Have a nice day.

SOP isn’t it?

Anyone applauding this has no morals; they are egging on crime. Like any protests, the genuinely concerned get left behind. All very well somebody saying the far right are hijacking this. What about it being the hard left that have created the conditions in the first place.

And upmarket bags and other items in this case.

What kind of people cheer the burning of the Limoges building? Clearly those with no investment or affection for the country.

Same old same old with looting of smartphones and trainers.

YANBU. It’s not protests, it’s riots and a hell of a lot of it is being driven by people who aren’t French. What a gift to Le Pen.

It’s interesting the push on not associating this with the left. Of course there’s peaceful students, I listened to an articulate recent French student earlier on the radio. He made a good case for investment which is lacking.

But people must be missing imagery and videos of looting and violence to think those two posts sum up the situation.
