I’m just pointing out Barry, that it’s you who believes what they want to believe and dismisses sources unless it suits your argument. ---

Nailed what colours to what mast? I never fucking know which argument you’re making as it’s never usually on the correct thread at the correct time. ---

I haven’t said what I believe and what is correct, I do think its very strange that the BBC aren’t reporting on it but the nationwide demonstrations have not been as big lately (I do know this), maybe its that or a part of that, maybe the yellow shirts this side are actually the black shirts of yesteryear? They all seem to be populist reactionaries, something I wouldn’t associate with you but there we go. ---

What the fuck are you on? I pray it’s just too many drugs. It was a simple enough question. Let’s try again. It’s a question about the guardian article i posted(just incase you have forgotten already). > [@Saint-or-sinner](#): > > Do you think the article should be a ‘headline’ article, whilst we get nothing about massive unrest in our very close neighbour? ---

Thats how news works, do you think there is 24 news on the protests and campaigns taken to and that happen outside Westminster, it would have a dedicated news channel. ---

Me neither. So we know we can’t trust the BBC or guardian on these matters. It’s shit that they’ve been completely taken over by the SS and big corps, isn’t it? ---

Who does? Me? Barking up the wrong tree son, I use them more as they are more impartial but omitting the news is a trick all broadcasters use. [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/macrons-yellow-vests/4878.md?page=6) [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/macrons-yellow-vests/4878.md?page=8)
