I know for a fact there are no protests in these locations


Ashby de la Zouch
Gracedieu
Chapel en le Frith
Belvoir

And Chateau Impney is still open as usual. Cant imagine other french locations are are different.
You were saying?

That isn't Ashby de la Zouch... or Belvoir (where there is a great chateau BTW).

3rd item on the BBC mobile home page ...

Linked eeport claims 84,000 protestors on the streets (quoting official French figures).

DSMA notices don't appear to be working any more ...

Yeah I noticed that from some tweets.... even quite close with their numbers... My side say 100-140,000 but lets not argue about that hey.

Did you happen to watch bbc news on tv? Because if it was on there then that bbc journalist was spreading fake news which I would find hard to believe. Of course it could of been a fake account and he's not a journalist at all.. Strange times we live in.

Lovely news on that 1st story also.... I just hope any media doesn't put her in harms way.

Nice bit of a Freudian slip with the graffito in red, across the hood of the white Mercedes van, “Macron, tu es un voleur”, (Macron you’re a thief).
Tutoyage has been used, meaning the familiar, family and friends use of the verb “être”, (to be), rather than “vous êtes un voleur”, the regular everyday use of it.

“Vous vous êtes un voleur” surely? (Person specific)

I’ve seen lots of mumbling about how this is what we’ll see if there is a Brexit betrayal. This is France. Their national sport of protesting. We’ll get a lot of tutting, eyes rolled and exasperated sighs. There will be moronic thugs from the right out shouting and moronic thugs from the left out shouting back at them but nothing like what the French are doing.

Vous can be used for one person or group. No need for the reflexive. The familiar might have been used on purpose as to patronise him.

Are you suggesting that there are fundamental differences in attitude between the French and the British? Are we not all the same?

Nope. It’s to convey their disrespect and contempt for Macron.

Mystic Meg, You do like to label people so just wondering how you label the 250,000 people's vote protest,or O. Jones little protest of 500-1000. I know what group l put the Jones one in and that is the great unwashed who don't pay tax. Or Soros funded group.
The arresting of J.Goddard and his bail conditions just made the numbers grow by huge numbers. What a can of worms they have just opened as there are many eyes now watching Soubry and Jones that when they openly call out the same words we are expecting them to arrest them. Or is it ok for them to do it.

You think James Goddard is the one to lead a massive protest in this country? Have you even seen the leaflet his little group were distributing on Saturday?

Quite a long list which yes I had seen. It's the reason I'll be wearing my yellow vest to start working through them.
They are very similar to the French demands.
