Have to say watching these riots fills me with hope. The whole movement seems to have moved well beyond fuel prices and become anti globalist. A weird alliance of yellow vests and antifa and strange scenes such as police appearing to come out in support of the rioters. Love the French in these situations and I have a glimmer of hope that this could start something bigger across Europe. Hearing them singing their national anthem almost brought a tear to me eye. I just wonder whether a crap exit deal or decision on a second referendum might trigger something similar here. I would certainly get up off my ass and show up to a demonstration. Would be very interested to hear people’s thoughts on this but my thoughts go to those turning up tomorrow in Paris. Vive La France!!!!

You emmediatley leap to the conclusion that they are *all* there purely to cause violence? It seems from various reports that was mostly led by the far left antifa mob and I agree there is a danger there will be more deaths. Nobody wants violence but we need change real democracy and not a choice between self interested politicians.

The only thing that will bring real change is mass withholding of taxes.
