Met police killer

Agree, but my point is in terms of ‘protesting’ and as a nation they protest in numbers we just complain online petitions. This got me thinking about how they are trying to make filming/videoing the police a crime - which they went to protest about. It’s worrying when you are removing the ability to gather evidence from what could become a potential major incident. Bizzare. I wonder if these news laws are being created around the globe together. We are slowly being silenced.

Few years ago I got caught up in a French farmers protest.

Travelling on the A77 in the middle of rural France I had to leave the Autoroute because it was blocked by hay bales Followed the deviation signs to the town of Nevers. There was a huge queue of parked lorries, numerous gendarmes, pop up cafes, tractors and locals looking on. It was like a social occasion with everyone happily chatting to each other, sharing a gauloises, all mates together. The next junction was blocked by tractors.

Here I reckon the lorry drivers would be furious with the farmers, most of the locals anti and the coppers stance to farmers 'move that tractor now or you're nicked'

The previous week they had apparently used burning tyres to block an A road.

I sort of have a sneaking admiration for them but France is in lots of ways a basket case of a country and the power of the workers is a big contributor to the torpor so rife throughout French industry. Their government recognises they have massively over generous pensions but is impotent to do anything because out will come the gilets jaunes and then there will be only one winner.

So no I wouldn't want the French culture on protest here.

We are becoming a nation that is afraid of leaving home.

Is this virus a threat to the human race? Of course it isn't, yet the world is behaving as though it is which is utterly insane and it's being used to take away the freedoms we all took for granted. Just watch for tactically timed announcements of a new variant that is slightly more virulent than those already in the population with terms such as "more deadly" used to brainwash the masses.

Deaths yesterday <100, ending of restrictions - 21st June at the earliest despite a vaccination rate about to reach 4M a week. Mental.
