There's been sporadic outbreaks in London including a 13yr old girl being arrested for assaulting a police officer, and there was supposed to be a protest in Birmingham today but I've not heard much about it.
I think the big Birmingham one is set for the 19th ( Been told, but been to busy to check yet), there was one before xmas with a couple of dozen, but its getting off the ground after the xmas/ new year break.The London group is following the plan to keep it small and mobile as this wont set up a chance for the police to cause riots. In spite of the French riots being the focus, its the small groups at road roundabouts bringing the real pressure on their government, by the time the police get enough numbers to an incident, it fragments and goes elsewhere.
The french are having to put 120,000 police on the street every week, its costing the government billions, so much for the EU budget plan, thats right out the window ;0)

The problem there is that it was never the government's money in the first place - governments borrow, the people repay. As for the EU's financial "laws and limits", don't make me laugh - they are made up as they go along. Nothing will happen if France breaks them. As long as "The Project" continues.This "French Spring" is going to need to do more than that, but if we can continue to ignore fires and tear gas on the streets of France's major cities then I am not sure what that is going to have to be.

I noticed a live stream on Twitter yesterday from London, at a guess maybe 50-60 people with hi viz on caused a bit of congestion around Trafalger Square.More planned apparently.

Seems that most of the yellow vest protests here are right of centre groups.

Then you need to question why you think those groups are right of centre, the old left were always anti EU-Banks-Global business, the narrative seems to have been turned around, that freedom of thought and speech in a free country is right wing.Seems that most of the yellow vest protests here are right of centre groups.
Brexit was the working classes saying enough to a globalist agenda, branding people will no longer work.

Probably because the London protests and several others have been organised by James Goddard, a Britain First/Pegida supporter.Brexit was the working classes saying enough to a globalist agenda, branding people will no longer work.

Is it still all going on over there?
Hard to tell as our media hadn’t been real hot on reporting it.
This is the kin of protest I can get behind. Yellow vests dancing.

RT giving London quite a bit of coverage, the Met are advising people not to come into central London. It's not right wingers or yellow vests though, it's the climate change anti-capitalist anti-globalists. Nothing much if anything at all on UK media. Perhaps it's nothing and it's just RT bigging it up.

No protests around Calais that I could see at the weekend, but there was a manned encampment near Le Touquet that had some tarpaulin, a fire pit and a good stock of wood for it.
Possibly fizzling out as a mass movement, leaving the usual trouble makers to protest?Balmoral said:

From what I've read they have enforced a D notice on reporting. They haven't quite figured out that millions and millions gave up on the complete lies of MSM have a thing called social media.Reports of 100-140,000 yellow vests across France.... Also reports of 11 dead. This is the news that is circulating on SM... so make of that what you wish... I know who I trust!
Edited : I've just located where I had read it Quote "Confirmation the government has served D Notice on @BBCNews ordering them not to report anything re Yellow Vests in UK or France. BBC meekly comply's with this blatant censorship. Clear proof the UK is now a totalitarian POLICE STATE. Share far and wide."
Multiple threads talking about it.
