yawn, french workist students occupy their universities in a knee jerk reaction to the government...the bill will be shelved/ added to some legieslation somewhere later....lots of left leaning student wonder what the fuck they were doing.....riot porn actor-vists the world over move onto some new flashpoint and proclaim its importance to the less privaledged. Who the fuck can be bothered with this merry go round, how can anyone with any experience of poli-tricks find it interesting....get some fucking tactics and get a life, for dog's sake. STOP SELLING IMAGES, STOP CONSUMING OTHER PEOPLES STRUGGLES.
You'd be as bored or nonplussed as everyone else if you weren't making money inventing academic meaning(lessness) for these events, precariphiles

That comment takes the biscuit. Whoever wrote it you are fucking racist scum. What the fuck do you mean other peoples struggles? How close does they have to be before they become us? Listen you little Englander prick what happens in other countries affects us. And what's happening in France now is big, potentially huge. But I forgot your holiness is above 'politricks', it's just a few students how boring, yawn, yawn. Nothing to match up to you, the enlightened elite. The trouble with your little self-defeating holier than thou bullshit is that things do change and they change through events like those happening in France now.

You seem to be pissed off with the idea of precariousness. Well that is how those struggling are defining their own struggle. And that is something we should take seriously. Why has it all kicked off in France now and over the last few months? What are the differences and what are the similarities with the situations we find ourselves in? What tactics and ideas are being created? Can we use them?

Jesus fucking H Christ that to me is a lot more interesting than watching Eastenders. Life is exploding just across the Channel and that prick feigns boredom. Well fuck off back to your little ghetto.


Death to little Englanders
