It is no wonder the French are revolting.
Bit harsh.

Curiuosly, the main stream media in the US has little, if any coverage, of the events in France. The globalists do not want us to know any of this. Slick
Coal mining, despite all the political histrionics, is nearly dead in the US, what with the price of natural gas being so cheap. Three young jobless people were just rescued from a coal mine in West Virginia, where they were scrounging for old copper wire to scrap and got lost. The areas of the US that used to depend on the mines for jobs must either adapt to change or watch their young people starve and turn into scrappers like the lost trio. There are still a few mines operating here is Southern Illinois, but I have no idea where their product is going. China, maybe? Coal-fired power plants that do not have natural gas capability are going the way of the dinosaur.The majority of UK coal mines were deep, with long entry shafts. The shafts were typically vertical with elevator cages for the miners to travel in. Not a job I would ever want to do. Some of my wife's relatives in Staffordshire were miners. Almost all of them developed lung problems as they aged - many were cancer.
The media coverage of the “Yellow Jacket” riots, as usual here in the US is slanted to cover for problems created by the state
All I've seen is rioting, fires, looting,destruction of private property and nearly nothing about the government's inability to cope with the issue-sorta like Brexit. What channel are you watching that blames the State for everything, because I haven't seen it?
It's been all over the national news here, including interviews with the yellowjackets o whatever they call themselves.[/QUOTE]So much for the freedom of information!?
It’s the fashionable thing to do isn’t it?
I’ve heard her blamed for all sorts of ridiculous things including the demise of the British motorcycle industry and even for the existence of the IRA !

You have misquoted me the page clearly stated that he was referring to the US!!!???????[/QUOTE]It's been all over the national news here, including interviews with the yellowjackets o whatever they call themselves.
If they change back to imperial measures then all the motorists - two and four wheels - would have a heart attack at the cost of a gallon of petrol (gas) - currently around £6 (or $6!)There wouldn't be a need for Brexit if some idiot PM hadn't got suckered into a "Brentry". The UK had almost nothing in common with Europe back then. As I remember, the then US president offered to form a "North Atlantic Trade Association" with the UK, Canada, Iceland and Greenland as members, but the then PM (Wilson ?) turned it down.
Does the PM plan to remove all the signs in the UK with metric dimensions and also revert to the old pounds, shillings and pence currency? At least the UK didn't get suckered into switching to driving on the other side of the road!
That’s what it says on my screenAgreed, my post was a typo and I meant to say “no one should let facts get in the way of personal opinion”!
