Dey thirty-four, in the Parliamentary House. Theresa May still won't resign

Meanwhile in France the French are protesting their King

*EDIT

A poll this week indicated that 73% of people in France have expressed support for the protests, which have been characterised as a grassroots movement lacking in clear leadership.

do u hear the ppl sing singing the song of angry men

*Double edit
French people surprised that the neoliberal banker who promised to cut taxes for the rich and raise taxes on the French delivers, protests even spread to French overseas territory
Imagine my shock

Welp, time to man the barricades. It's a french tradition after all.

I do prefer Macron to the alternative, but neoliberal policies will neoliberal.

Ukraine vs Russia intensifies.

Do not use oil on your guillotine, malheureux ! It's expensive and people are actually protesting the price of oil.

Aside that, this is not really a big deal. Price of oil goes up because international politics made so that we have one less import source, and because the government wants to nudge the country toward renewable energy. Some people get the short end of the stick and are legitimately angry, most of them are used as a political ram by political minorities against a government they cannot attack otherwise.

Macron is actually really good, and is not "just a neoliberal". Dude solved the NDDL issue in two weeks after right and left wing government broke their teeth on it for ten years total by just discussing with the protestors. There's more to the guy than just an ex banker with a severe case of gerontophilia.

[Doomblade187]

Oh, my remark on the neoliberalism had less to do with the gas tax, and more to do with tax cuts and labor union stuff.

I do know that France has needed changes in some of these aspects, and Macrón seems to be a legitimately good leader. I just don't like everything I hear about him and saw a chance for a french revolution joek. :3

Russia seizes 3 ships from Ukrainian navy in the Kerch strait, Ukraine plans to formally declare war.

[SaberToothTiger]

Fook ye, finally a new european war

[Il Palazzo]

Russia seizes 3 ships from Ukrainian navy in the Kerch strait, Ukraine plans to formally declare war.

Oh noes, there will be even more Ukrainian immigrants to Poland.
But that's ok, they're white.

Martial law (most likely limited to several regions, details aren't know yet and I wouldn't be surprised if Ukrainian parliament won't support it at all) isn't declaration of war.

This thing is new. It is the first direct attack by Russian armed forces. It isn't unknown "little green men" or "rebels that somehow got newest Russian weapons in a shop".
Not that it will result in anything more substantial than blockade of Ukrainian ports in Azov sea and many deep concerns around the world.
