Like bedtime drinks some opinions are sillier than others.
Just because the MSM isn't as obsessed as some on here doesn't mean there's a blackout.
Good to see you agree with the general lack of coverage in the MSM.Just because the MSM isn't as obsessed as some on here doesn't mean there's a blackout.
Nobody claimed a blackout, that's already been clarified
Going for the personal attack on unnamed PHers speaks volumes about the strength of your argument.
Time for a cup of
Dim. 
I find there's always an article in some corner of the BBC news site if you know what to look for (at the moment there's nothing on the main page, nothing on the world page and even nothing on the Europe page, also nothing on the Politics page). It's even harder to find it on the TV.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm NOT on the side of the yellow vests. The 'Juden' really says it all 
The problem is, when they do graffiti like that it damages the cause. It is the same when you get a few EDL thugs going on a "leave means leave" march.
Those that they are protesting against rub their hands together with glee as it gives them a spin.

I would say it's hardly hitting the front pages though, you have to go hunting to find stories.
No, it's not a priority for the MSM. But it's also not an "almost complete blackout".The MSM simply don't attach the same level of importance to it as people who really want it to be a popular revolt.

I know you're not, but some on here need to understand the kind of people that they are cheerleaders for. From anarchist acab car burning whack jobs to ultra right wing neo fascists delightful people the lot of them

But they are just your typical left wing jobs.
Bullcrap, you have the full spectrum of trouble makers on these marches. Last weekend you had antifa fighting with neo fascist while both sides wore high viz and fought with the police.
It is not just the left wing protesting other than your wishful thinking

JUDEN is the far left that believe the Jews like Soros are running the globe. Same with those that are going round smashing up cars. Last weekend you had antifa fighting with neo fascist while both sides wore high viz and fought with the police.

It is the anti capitalists getting involved.

But the line is getting blurred. It seems you don't understand German either
That is the funny thing with the 'far' left, most of them hate the capitalist Jews, but hate the fact they are seen by many in the same light as the neo nazi's or the EDL.
They are as bad as each other.
Whether it is Antifa smashing up a Jewish Bakery or some Right Wing extremist there is no difference. They both think they are right. They are both abhorrent a

I am glad you agree it is not just a leftwing problem. That is the funny thing with the 'far' left, most of them hate the capitalist Jews, but hate the fact they are seen by many in the same light as the neo nazi's or the EDL.

holes. It is classic revolutionary tactics, attach your self to a populist movement and create havoc and hope that you can advance your cause during the chaos
Good on the French state and police for not giving way

Yes he gave in to the moderate protesters demands, I can't see him giving in to the extremists at either end though He's not long come out of hiding in his palais. Massive misjudgement that will define his time in office.
And at least he has not done a de gaul

Not sure this extremism label applies to people standing peacefully away from the action filming it on their mobiles.

Fair point about extremists hitching a ride. On that score our plod could learn a thing or two when international anarchists join in and commit criminal acts.

Well its that old saying you are known by who you associate with. Not sure this extremism label applies to people standing peacefully away from the action filming it on their mobiles.
Really knowing how the French police deal with rioting would you even be stood in the same street if you didn't have to?
It's like that fella that lost his hand, how dumb do you have to be to try throwing back a Cs grenade that has just been fired at you?
