Here are the core reasons why students in France are protesting:
🔸 Crumbling school buildings: Students are demanding emergency funding to fix dilapidated facilities, citing collapsing ceilings, mold, water damage, and rat infestations.
🔸 Severe teacher shortages: Thousands of classrooms are missing educators, leaving students without consistent instruction.
🔸 Overcrowded classrooms: Budget cuts have pushed class sizes to 36 or more students, overwhelming teachers and reducing learning quality.
🔸 Exhausting school hours: Protesters are demanding a complete overhaul of the current school schedule, which frequently runs from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
🔸 Police violence: Anger has intensified following heavy-handed police tactics during demonstrations, which have resulted in severe injuries to teenage protesters.

40 years on from the Challenger space shuttle disaster, conspiracy theories are being shared on social media suggesting that the accident was a hoax and that the seven deceased astronauts are still alive.
This is patently false.

Anti-immigrant protesters have been directing abuse at Britain’s leading blindness charity, the RNIB, accusing it of helping small boat migrants. They mixed it up with the RNLI. Reminiscent of the time in 2000 when a mob daubed ‘paedo’ on the office of a paediatrician in Wales.
We’ve seen posts pop up again on social media claiming to show a story written by Bill Gates on “depopulation through forced vaccination”.
He didn’t write the article. And it misinterprets other quotes he’s made about slowing population growth.

It's a reflection on the depressing state of our national discourse right now that the UK Prime Minister is doing The Great North Run to raise money for a homeless charity that helps over 14,000 people a year and his donations sit at just £3,233.
Meanwhile, a multiple convicted hard-right grifter has asked his gullible followers to donate because he used his mum's address to register his company, and those donations, which will go into his back pocket, are currently sitting at £66,902.
*BRILLIANT*
The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘_white, angry old man’s_’ advice to go back where they came from.*
Convicted in the US.
Pardoned by Trump.
Record donation to Reform.
Crypto-billionaires. Criminals. People who think they can buy and sell British politics.
That’s who Reform stand for.
That’s who they’ve always stood for.
Two RNLI volunteers were pictured in Portsmouth this weekend while responding during the Patriot Platform protest. The far right responded by identifying them and branding them “traitors”.
One of those spreading their names is Ryan Ferguson, a neo-Nazi who was jailed for racially abusing a Black footballer and later arrested under the Terrorism Act for promoting the banned neo-Nazi group National Action.
This is what the far right’s “peaceful” activism looks like.
