Eddie... I watched 4-5 hrs of coverage on Saturday and spent another 4-5 hrs following it so why would I do that. Of course there are still areas not affected,but 100,140,000 people is a lot of people. But then soy boy Owen Jones thought there was 15,000 at his rally, and 750,000 at the people's march.
Get in your car. See for yourself. Then report back. You will see I am right and you are wrong.

Any photos or videos of the new protests on SM?
You know it just might be an idea if you get your head out of MSM news and look yourself,Just a wild out there thought.
You need to stick your head out of your bunker once in a while. I'm just back from France, and will be back there later this week, where are you based?

I've googled your "Quoted statement" - nothing matched - so I don't think it's unreasonable to request a link to the source of the quote

Personally as I have linked two recent articles on the BBC web Pages that are regarding the "Yellow Vests" I think your quote is "Fake News" wink
Quick quick silence the tin foil hat mad mad.... You used google... most of us use duck duck go now.
"They" have must have censored Duck Duck Go now as it's also not coming up on there!

Sorry I wasn't referring that this came from a search engine,I should of just said I use rather than used duck duck go and should of made that more clear. But you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know government D notices are not broadcast... You know it's all a little bit Shh Shh

OK so who on ttter has 40.6K followers, 174K tweets and would have the knowledge that the Government has implemented D notice restrictions to the BBC reegarding "Yellow Vest" protests

If I was currently in Government I'd be glad of any coverage that is taking the media focus away from the complete clusterfk they are making of Brexit.........

It's a "French" focus issue - why the fk should it be on BBC UK news!!!!

Again I shouldn't have to do your homework for you as I'm not a journalist. If you really can't work that one out again It makes me wonder how up to date you are with World news. We here in the UK are about to have hundreds of thousands hit the streets and maybe just maybe they don't wish us to see what's happening all over Europe. Again the government really do think people with any sense still read MSM news. I have not opened a MSM news for 4 months or have a switched my tv on for longer. Do you use Twitter?

I'm confused as to why you think the government was to suppress the reporting of the French riots. What will it do, apart from take attention away from brexit. You seem to be suggesting that twitter is a reliable source of news. I'm not sure that's correct.

Why do you think hundreds of thousands are going to hit the streets?

Historically, the UK hasn't been that bothered by what has happened on the continent. Any online news gets a low level of hits. No one is interested. It is, I think, reprehensible, but it's what happens. They need hits so they ignore what their readers ignore.

Back in the late 60s there were real riots in France, almost a revolution, not like the amateur rent-a-mob they've got now. It went largely unnoticed this side of the pond, despite it being in all the papers. You could not have a conversation about it because no one cared. There was orchestrated mobbery, but it was half-hearted. Once the film of the Grosvenor Square attack on the police was seen, the public went against the rioters, regarding is as cowardly and really not British at all.

I'll just leave this here for you.



"the amateur rent-a-mob they've got now" what a disgrace you are!! You just insulted 75% of the French people.
You sound like Macron..

You are the one making claims of a D notice - yet when asked to link to the source your approach is to tell me to go fishing or provide cryptic clues as to the authority of your still unnamed source...........

"hundreds of thousands" - sounds like an awful lot of people - what will they be doing on the streets? Be a good idea if they picked up litter as a starting point biggrin

What's happening all over Europe?

No idea what the government think - I find it best to get news from a variety of sources - the French TV has had some very good coverage on the "Yellow Vest" protests it's where I would go first for latest news

Sounds perfectly reasonable - been many times recently when I'd like to do the same the wall to wall coverage on Brexit is dominating every bloody UK channel

Yep - I've I've made 4 tweets in 5 years and I follow about 3 or 4 people - one of them is Donald Trump because I like a good laugh at least once a day

I'm sure it is not reliable. It is a source, to be treated with the upmost caution. Twitter can become the ultimate echo chamber, if you let it.

Having said that, I do use it. But it can't be used to gauge the scale of opinion or the depth of feeling on a topic.
