France

[Mito Man]

So it’s barely being covered by the news here but wtf is going on, hundreds of thousands protesting over fuel duty increases (this bit I understand) but why has it turned into a random riot with everyone smashing and burning cars? Or is that just what the French do when they have a disagreement?

Or is that just what the French do when they have a disagreement?

This. Or strike.

Confirmed. Not even newsworthy tbh.

Pretty newsworthy for anyone here looking to drive to France over the winter. Radio here saying all the roads into and out of Calais are blocked with pricks donning high vis jackets and throwing stones at cars. Not great is it...

[Simon]

This is why I'm not in Paris right now, but Rome instead.

[Mito Man]

None of my cars have the reliability to make it to Rome and I’m still not allowed on airplanes.

[Simon]

And you don't want to drive in Rome. They're all fucking crazy here.

Every time we go to Italy I swear I will never drive there again.

And then I forget that the next time I go to Italy.

[Mito Man]

I say the same whenever I drive through South London

La haine...

I doubt our masters want us to know we have the option of fire raising and riots and road blockages to protest. Love them or hate them, when our Gallic cousins don't like things, they really know how to get a riot going - see 14th July as a reference.

I happened in to the car at about five minutes to 2 and caught the last moments of Jeremy shit stirring more on Vine and he mentioned French riots being covered.
