@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening the short podcast of the show. So always catching up. Just wantes to say. French students were not manipulated by a party ( LFI )to start fires. It's mostly used by the French right/center to hide their own failings, which let the education system rots for decades.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

Our rapid disillusionment with political leaders is treated by much of the media as some kind of pathology. But what I see is these leaders backtracking on their promises, dashing people's hopes and serving the ultra-rich ahead of the rest of the population. Why wouldn't we be disillusioned?

But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".
