Mate of mine lives in Lyon. Said it was ok this morning. But it’s kicking off tonight. Fires, fireworks etc etc

Ah it’s fucked man but as long as the police have a problem with telling the truth and prefer to rely on creating a climate of fear to try and maintain control we are all fucked.

He sent a couple of vids from the other side of the river. Lots of lads on the move, noise, fire and fireworks. Far too hectic for me!

If I ever actually saw any Police in real life I’d be able to comment more. I see more people just doing what the fuck they want these days!

That’s very fair. Definitely a case of perspective and I don’t think the police are all bad but they need to stop pretending to be neutral and to get back to being clearly anti-crime. Just be honest and let us all know where we stand with them. It’s fucked that they keep getting caught lying.

I was actually brought up to not trust them at all :smile:

Nantes isn’t on fire.

I’m sure the police manual say’s ā€˜Treat everyone as a suspect, all the time…’ or something like that, they are never really being friendly or trying to be your your mate if they ever stop to talk to you. They are just seeing ā€˜what you’re really up to’, and if they can nick you for it.

Yeah when there’s that element of entrapment you just don’t wanna engage with them…guilty or not :laughing:

It’s the same with the lying about their actions - if the police’s first reaction after getting caught doing wrong is to lie about what they did, what example does that set? I’m gonna lie too.

On strike tomorrow because I refuse to accept a shitty pay offer that’s not funded by the government and would see my support staff colleagues losing their jobs to fund my perfunctory pay increase.
Another month sacrificing wages to tell the Tories to fuck off.

This track has never been more relevant.

ā€œFake guys and real guys it’s real wise to see through, conditioned to believe that you invented what you’ve been through.
Don’t let ā€˜em grind you down little man, keep your dreams true, you’re in the street, the streets are never in you.
These gangsters will mislead you and gas you up to think you’ve made it.
What kind of man would take a child and leave them implicated?
Keep you out at night, train you as a soldier
Growing aware that what he’s raising is the person who will overthrow himā€¦ā€

I see this shit everyday at work.
If it not the Tories fucking people over, it’s other horrible shitheads criminally exploiting kids in another way. Grim.

PS I am aware that Twitter links are no longer generating previews - looking into this now. Might be something to do with Musk meltdown etc

did a preview for me?

Yeah because I just fixed it!

I thought musk made twitter only viewable if logged in, thus breaking embeds.
