From FRANCE- Another 400 UK citizens were arrested and charged with terrorism for carrying signs supporting the group Palestine Action. Then a press review calling France the new Italy for its political instability and soaring debt. The French Prime Minister resigned and Macron picked another conservative. There is a French movement called Block Everything including using credit cards.

"You actually cannot sell the idea of freedom, democracy, diversity, as if it were a brand attribute and not reality - not at the same time as you're bombing people, you can't.
