    More than 250 people were injured across France in Saturday’s riotsJULIEN MATTIA/REX
    President Macron is expected to offer tax cuts and subsidies to lower-income families in France today in an attempt to repair his battered authority after two Saturdays of riots and destruction in Paris that have shaken his 18-month-old administration.
    In a television appearance, Mr Macron is also likely to accept blame for having given an impression of arrogance that has spurred tens of thousands of so-called gilets jaunes or yellow vest protesters to block roads for the past three weeks and skirmish with police in Paris and other cities.
    “Obviously we underestimated the need of our fellow citizens to express themselves and tell of their difficulties,” Benjamin Griveaux, the government spokesman, said. “It is anger that is difficult to understand from an office in Paris.”…

    The above was true
    These kids decided to stir it up
    These kids have quickly learnt that they are disgraced by French society
    They have also learnt the law

    Better than England by a country mile
    Still we do get to run over mopeds now

    Oh no Sky are at it again <doh> They are talking to 4 people (2 remain and 2 leave). The leave bloke (as usual) is as thick as a 2222. Doesn't have a clue then starts calling for a second vote. They are as bad as CH4 and the BBC.

    May is holding a cabinet conference call this morning. Looks like she's bottled and will postpone the vote.

    Fair play to the young on TV today who both gave some valid points and held their corner really well. Both said they are now old enough to vote and would vote 'Leave'. When the interviewer said, "but surely many of your friends would vote remain"? one replied, "actually it's about even".

    This is probably why that MP who wants another vote says "we should include the 3 million EU citizens that live here in the vote and 16-18yr olds. Just to make sure they have a chance.

    I wish that now that the UK can, following today's court decision, she is sorting the cancellation of the whole f****** Brexit. But most likely she will try to wriggle enough out of the EU on the N.Ireland back stop to get the DUP and enough hard Tory Brexiteers on her side to win a vote, be it tomorrow, a postponed vote, or a 2nd vote after a defeat and a few more trips to Brussels.

    Has there ever been a less impartial court? It's just another cog in the Brussels wheel of autocracy

    Amazing timing of the verdict? <magic> And what is in the small print that they don't seem to be reporting is that they don't need the agreement of other member states? <yikes> Funny Goldie, how all through this process the EU said it was for all the states to decide.

    Her only hope is the EU have mercy on her and put an end date to the backstop. But they won't. The Irish in particular are determined there won't be any changes so May must be dead meat surely
