Rubbish. They're all the same. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They thought Macrons new party was change. What they got was big finances whipping boy.

I read a fascinating fact this morning; the biggest single source of donations to Obama's election campaign was from workers of one, single business; Goldman Sachs. They seem also to have decent links with France too.

Unlike the Brits when the French want change out come the guillotines and the smell of sheep burning wafts over into Dover.
I don't appreciate the French I find them irksome however the way they can and do shut down the Country at will is pretty impressive apart from the burning sheep smell.

Chaos:



How to form a working government out of that lot, unless the CD and SD losses can be reversed?

Despite how it was portrayed by our mainstream media at the time, there wasn't a great love for him in the French electorate at large, it's just that their system boiled down to a straight choice between someone associated with a far-right party and him. Many French simply couldn't stomach Le Pen and the baggage she carries and voted for Macron to keep her out.

Of course, the way it was told to us by the likes of the BBC, it was as if Macron was some sort of super-popular 'Tony Blair' (back when he first got elected, that is) type character - emerging like a rising star out of the blue, saving France from dictatorship and making everything cool. His banking and corporate-ist links were well known though.

Surprised there has been no mention of the leak of 100's German Politicians personal data by hackers.... including Merkel.
https://www.panorama.am/en/news/2019/01/04/German-... .

Not sure how serious this is but I bet some of those running the EU dictatorships arses collapsed
when they first found out about it, wondering what bits of their secret and concealed world
had been exposed.

But if you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about - Isn't that what people are constantly told by politicians when expressing concerns about their privacy biggrin
