so far, family and relatives do not give a shit about the trudeau thing
will need to dig around for other people's takes

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-brownface-photo-trudeau-west-point-grey-1.5290814

neither are they particularly upset
though, with them in the picture, brownface might be a stretch

looks more like blackface, can't comment on that

Was Brexit thought of by the French and Germans to fuck up the UK extra something fierce?

No, Britain earned the Brexit Darwin Award all by herself.

What the hell is Labour doing. As far as the EU is concerned there is no 'remain' option.

The only option is to leave with a deal or without a deal and then re-apply for EU membership.  :lol

What is really scary is that they could have been bailed out by the Gov for 200m but they didn't bother. Absolutely ridiculous. Why spend 200m when you could lose 10bn taxable turnover?

I think in the longer term it would have been the better idea than just to let it bounce,

the problem is that all the job losses here and loss of taxable revenue will later fuck the economy harder than a bailout to be paid back across x number of months.

21,000 people now suddenly out of work and now will no doubt be going onto welfare until they can find other opportunities,

the issue is quite a lot of these staff will be low skilled workers so finding them a job in the long run with a failing high street will be difficult.

I fucking hate people who use flags like that to state political alignments, it's like those pray for france shit that went on so lame.

I'm hardly shocked the Spanish are going that way though. Although I beg they keep the English over there, as they're the real cunts we don't want here.

When I was leaving work today I saw some of the Extinction Rebellion people with police as if there was something about to start.

I cannot stand them, I'd rather the planet die with these little pricks still alive just so I can die knowing they also suffered.

Also I know she has made a big deal out of travelling in a supposedly carbon neutral way but most of these guys are fucking around taking gap years and travelling etc so it's like fuck off yuppie

There should be a moratorium on rolling out people under 18 for political purposes.

It’s always cringey no matter the merit of the underlying cause.

The unsettling bit is when you've got people using really young kids like a prop. Like the, "my 3 year old totally said blah blah blah".

Far left French leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon banned the TV program "Quotidien" from his party press events because, in essence, what they recorded a year ago is now used as evidence in a "politically motivated" court case : he and his entourage (including other elected MPs from LFI) threw a tantrum, disrupted justice, ruffled with a cop and a representative of the prosecution during a seizure -part of a whole series- mandated at his offices in an investigation about misuse of Europarliament means and irregularities in the finances of his presidential bid. It was partly captured on video which was played in current court proceedings.

Mélenchon wrote as much in a blog published Sunday :
"Without  « Quotidien » there's no case against us. Their edited, cooked up images published by the show are the only argument and  « evidence » presented."

Of course this is couched in a larger argument of being persecuted by the Powers That Be and the press serving their masters / being overwhelmingly biased against his party, but the shitposter in me can only notice he's banning them now right on the heels of court hearings, and not at any point in the past year despite this video record having been in circulation since the events and being the focal point of all the debate and ridicule sent Mélenchon's way.

If you're curious, here's the salient part of said video. You're losing a bit on the granular level if you don't understand the language but I think there's plenty to see with just the images...
