Default France

Jeebus I know this was a few weeks ago, but dang. Lock downs all over the world and it sounds like a war zonein the E.U. AGAIN. Quite a riotous bunch over there huh?


From private testing for the rich to unrest in banlieues, coronavirus is highlighting France's stark divide

Paris (CNN)While billionaires isolate themselves at luxurious hideaways on the Mediterranean during the coronavirus outbreak, residents in deprived and crowded areas of France are now facing a surge in deaths, along withunrest on the streets.

Oh no! This is terrible!

If anarchy breaks out, which It probably won't, I'll be astonished.
I hope that this doesn't spread to the US.
Praying and wishing for all the subsimers safety and health that live in France.
This will do no good to slow down the virus.

France on Friday said there was no factual evidence so far of a link between the Covid-19 outbreak and the work of the P4 research laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which France helped set up and where the current pandemic started.


What else would you expect France to say when they helped build the damn thing.

Which made me remember an article in a Danish news paper some weeks ago.

If someone thought that upstairs and downstairs was something from the past A thing we had buried

It's back while the elite, millionair politician hide them self in luxurious holiday cottages ETC

The downstairs people. like you and me, have to take the big hit

We the Scandinavian aren't French, Italian, so we will stay calm and do as ordered.

I'm part French and Scandinavian so sometimes I do what I'm told other times not so much. Some days I'm reserved other days I go off half-cocked fangs out hair on fire. Sometimes smart sometimes foolish. That's what makes me an American!

The Yellow vests movement “gilets jaunes” have been mass demonstrating and causing civil unrest all over France since 17th November 2018 and the situation is still ongoing.

The UK news were initially covering the story on a daily basis but it is so commonplace atm it seldom gets a mention now.
