Encapuchados irrumpieron en la alcaldía de Marsella y destrozaron este busto de La Marianne, figura de la libertad y símbolo oficial de la República Francesa. Verla rota, tirada, con el rostro contra el suelo, es hoy una metáfora de la decadencia en la que se encuentra Francia.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

France is learning why Egypt, Jordan, and Kuwait no longer accept Palestinian refugees…I think it's because they're Islamophobic.

Perhaps France ought to contemplate joining the EU. I've heard it controls immigration, bringing peace and prosperity to all its disciples.

🔥 Winston Marshall was on FIRE on @BBCNewsnight! He went straight for the PM, ripping into the claim that he “came back to Westminster to make changes as if he’s some outsider, not the ultimate career politician who’s spent his life in the bubble”. Then came the real fireworks, as he clashed with Green activist Faiza Shaheen over immigration and benefits. Marshall exposed the ASTONISHING reality: 1.85 million foreign nationals are claiming a staggering £23 BILLION in welfare! His point was simple and devastating — the Labour ideology will never put the British people first. “They’re not British! We’ve got to start putting British people first!” Shaheen, as you’d expect, was offended and pushed back, saying we invited these people here to work in particular sectors where there were labour shortages. Marshall wasn’t having it: “So. So what.” She repeated the point: “The point is, we’ve asked people to come here and work in these sectors.” His reply was blunt: “We should be prioritising the British people.” Why can’t people like Faiza just admit this is wrong, unsustainable, and a betrayal of the British people? Mass low-wage immigration has been a catastrophe. If she actually cared, she’d call out the £23 billion black hole instead of blindly defending a policy that makes her feel virtuous. Like @MrWinMarshall says, put the British people FIRST. No more excuses.

Je ne veux plus fréquenter les gens qui disent « À quoi ça sert ? ». J’ai 50 piges sur mon passeport, 12 ans dans ma tête (et 18 ans dans mon slip, dirait ma femme). Et je compte bien que ça dure. Je ne supporte plus les pisse-vinaigre professionnels du scepticisme. À quoi ça servait de vouloir voler ? De traverser les océans ? De marcher sur la Lune ? À rien. Jusqu’au jour où quelqu’un l’a fait. J’ai toujours eu une tendresse infinie pour les originaux. Les inadaptés. Les rebelles. Les emmerdeurs. Ceux qui ne rentrent pas dans les cases. Ceux qui ont des idées absurdes, des ambitions démesurées, des projets improbables. Parce que ce sont eux qui font avancer le monde. Pas les gestionnaires du déclin. Les gens suffisamment fous pour croire qu’ils peuvent changer le monde sont précisément ceux qui finissent par le changer. Et ce qui me terrifie aujourd’hui c’est l’état d’esprit que nous transmettons à nos enfants. On les élève dans une atmosphère de fin du monde permanente. Entre malthusianisme, injonctions à la décroissance, culpabilité écologique et anxiété organisée. Quelle terrible inversion des valeurs ! L’écologie devrait être un formidable défi lancé à l’intelligence humaine, pas une pédagogie de la résignation. Je ne veux pas d’une génération qui s’excuse d’exister au point de ne plus faire d’enfants Je veux une génération qui brûle d’envie de découvrir, de créer, de baiser, de comprendre ! l’optimisme n’est pas de la naïveté mais le courage de croire en notre capacité à tout affronter. Le progrès n’est pas une fatalité mais une conquête. C’est mon ode aux rêveurs, aux inventeurs, aux enthousiastes, aux insoumis, aux doux dingues et aux emmerdeurs magnifiques. À tous ceux qui disent « t’es cap ? » plutôt que « À quoi ça sert ? ». J’ai 50 ans, et je refuse de devenir vieux dans ma tête. Aux fous qui veulent changer le monde !
Real life, baby

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".

We need to recognize that the pro-Palestinian protests are fundamentally protests against the West, and their ambitions are much greater than eradicating Israel from the river to the sea. We need to take these threats seriously.
The Islamic Revolution in Europe has begun. This is France. Today, we see the same scenes in Berlin. Every day, these hordes waving the Arab National Socialist flags of Palestine grow larger. In Iran, it took roughly two years to go from this stage to complete chaos and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. We saw the same symbolism, the same flags, and heard the exact same slogans. Brace yourselves.

You cannot say the Secretary of State has bowed the knee to republican threats and then propose handing him the keys to Northern Ireland through direct rule. This is exactly the thinking that gets unionism into trouble. We need calm heads and strategic, long-term thinking.

Needlessly reopened? Apply that logic to any Republican seeking a United Ireland. Why is a 28 year old parading issue "closed" but the 105 year old constitution position "open"? If the parades commission & courts can be ignored, so can the GFA. We all pick our own rules now...
I welcome the Secretary of State’s intervention to end the Drumcree stand-off. Our focus must now turn to healing the deep wounds which have been so needlessly reopened, and building a shared future.

Great speech by Marco at one of the birthplaces of Western Civilization today. Our friends in Europe face a stark choice: decline or renewal. I hope they choose wisely.

Bizarre that a legal right to assembly is unimportant to our justice minister @naomi_long. Who "gets their win in court" just to then not enact their lawful rights? It's an obscene suggestion. Why not advise the residents to let the parade through peacefully? Ridiculous comments.
Did I hear that right? Justice minister Naomi Long is worried that the organisers of a lawful parade haven’t surrendered to an unlawful protest mob?? 😳 Every word out of their mouths is absolutely ridiculous.

Somehow, find 27-minutes, to watch this. The setting is extraordinary, but the words more so. Has there been another politician in recent times who has dared to say what Marco Rubio does in Athens?
We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

🚨 BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Sec. Marco Rubio just WALKED OUT in front of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece to demand a resurgence of Western Civilization values and against mass 3rd world migration And he's doing it at the BIRTHPLACE of the West. Inject this into my veins. 🔥🔥 "The imagination of the western world. GENERATIONS of our statesmen...have looked to [Acropolis] with wonder, with awe." "2.5 centuries after the founding of the American Republic...I stand here today as a Secretary of State of that republic...I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space can ever extinguish." "The history of America, of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government." This speech is pure gold.
