lots of talk about a big war coming, not a bad idea to try to detach Europe from getting dragged in by the usa..

 

USA obviously needs an economic boost. Nothing like a war to improve weapon sales.

Been reading about Macron..not only has he got domestic problems with the retirement age thing and god knows where that he heading, but also he seems to have put his foot in it in a recent interview about europe and China/Taiwan...has upset a few others in EU/west...strategic autonomy for europe (i.e. break from US), and nothing to do with us what China does with Taiwan etc etc. 

Isn’t Macron in a ‘no lose’ situation? Because there is a limit on terms in the office and he is at the maximum of that; which might explain some of his actions now.

It is weird that even though Labour have been polling above the Tories for months now there will be an attempt to skew the narrative to protect the precious Tory Party.

i'm amused that the protesters used glue to protest about horses dying at the grand national - the dead horses ensure more glue supplies. 😛
