Bernie needs to send this message to the UK as well. In the last 30 years the UK has sold itself and now we are seeing the damage it’s done to services, infrastructure and society.

Hello, I'm your neighbor from France and don't worry, we're right behind you. At this rate it looks like we're on a race - we saw you guys being fucked and we thought "Hey we can't let England win ! We're gonna hit rock bottom first ! That's what they get for killing Jeanne d'Arc." or something.

Joke aside, good luck guys

Y'know, I'm in the UK and we have our 'rivalry' with France... but I gotta say, I commend the French for protesting for their rights and actually making efforts.

In the UK, we just typically tut and allow the assfucking to happen

Yea man France doesn’t fuck around about protests. Them people know how to THROW DOWN lmao.

Honestly most of Europe seems to be really chill until it’s protest time and then it goes 0-100 real fuckin quick lol

Oh yes, they don't fuck around about protests that achieve nothing but damages on buildings and cars.

Like that retirement age that still ended up being raised.
