Can Europe Avoid Meltdown Or Must We Watch It Crash And Burn

 

We have reported on the youth led rebellion across Europe many times since the protests and riots began in France around mid - September, but with the continent facing economic, social and political crises simultaneously is there any hope of avoiding a pan European meltdown?

lifted from a comment by Steve Jolly on Unherd 

Even if Europe dodges a crisis this time, how long before the next near miss, and then the next. As Dr, Munchau points out, things that are unsustainable are either made sustainable, or they end. 

Munchau seems to have finally come to terms with what I've maintained for years. The globalist project that was the EU will die an ignoble death as globalism fails. The EU's financial viability was predicated on, among other things, the US continuing to subsidize Europe's defense and maintain the global financial order.

 As it becomes increasingly obvious the American people don't much care what happens in the rest of the world, it stands to reason everybody else will eventually reach the same conclusion. The failure of the euro won't necessarily stay isolated either. 

The interconnected global economy ensures a crisis in one place can domino all around the world. Other nations will see France looking out for the French and they will look to their own people as well. 

It becomes a part of a much larger global picture where barriers and complications interrupt the free flow of money and goods across borders and reintroduce companies and investors to the notion that investing in foreign nations poses political risks as well as economic risks. 

I am now simply in the mode of waiting for the 'big break' with the globalist era, the destruction or at least the serious crippling of international finance through whatever means. Munchau has introduced a very plausible starting point, but there are others, a political revolution in the US, war with China over Taiwan. When structures are on the brink of collapse, the next storm will surely knock them over.

More Riots As France Slides Towards Social Collapse And Bankuptcy

 

 

On November 5, 2026, France witnessed the latest round of protests and violent rioting in a wave of civil unrest that has been going on since mid - September. As well as protests which started peacefully but gradually became more violent, strikes involving hundreds of thousands demanding higher wages, improved living conditions, and opposing austerity policies disrupted business activity in many cities. This is now a broad based movement which draws support from diverse groups including high school and university students, unions, farmers, and 'gilets jaunes' activists.

Authorities estimated between 500,000 to 700,000 people turned out to protest nationwide with 40,000 to 80,000 more taking to the streets in Paris. The government called up 70,000 police and gendarmes to maintain order and enforce security measures amid concerns about potential unrest following violent demonstrations with looting, vandalism and arson earlier in October.

Key demands of the protesters included a minimum wage increase—the first since 2012—opposition to soaring fuel prices, and rejection of austerity budgets. According to General Secretary Marylise Léon of CFDT, the movement seeks dignified working conditions amid financial pressure on the population, as half reportedly struggle economically.

The aim of some of the more extremist protest groups is to bring down the government and force an early general election. Ironically the main support for this comes from far left groups even though the civil unrest has made victory for right wing Marine Le Pen and her National Rally Party even more likely now that Paris is burning,

However France is in its current mess because of Emmanuel Macron whose time in office has been punctuated by outbreaks of civil disorder. Who could have predicted that his decade-long presidency would end with his country in flames, and with a financial crisis looming? Yet the policies Macron pursued earlier in his tenure nonetheless led him here. The austerity imposed by his government bred more violence, while cuts in public investment deterred private investors.

Looking at the presidential candidates in France today ahead of the election next April, it is difficult to see how the country will end up with a government that succeeds in doing all of the following: bringing the budget deficit under control; avoiding social unrest; complying with European rules; and staying in the eurozone. What many European politicians don’t understand is the relationship between debt, the EU's unsustainable financial relationship with China and membership of the eurozone. Put simply: you can’t default on your debt and expect to keep the euro. Debt serves as collateral for the money the banking system gets from the ECB. If a country defaults on its debt, the banking system inevitably freezes up.

Given these fundamentals, how might a eurozone crisis actually play out?  One option is that Le Pen wins and on becoming fully aware of the state of French finances decides to impose austerity once in the Élysée. Her popularity ratings would soon slump, and would likely not recover. You might think this is totally irrational, but we saw this pattern repeat itself over and over again during previous eurozone crises.

France and other members of the Eurozone, including Germany only need fiscal integration due to a) the debt-based nature of the Euro (which it has in common with all modern fiat currencies) and b) democracy, which rewards politicians willing to bribe voters with consumption spending paid by deficits. The latter is so entrenched it's no longer discussed. Even politicians who self-describe as "fiscally conservative"seem to assume deficit spending is some kind of law of nature, which illustrates the profound corruption in voters' expectations that will ultimately lay waste to Europe's main economies.

Apologies For Slavery And Trying To Make Britain A Slave Of The EU - A Busy Week In British Politics

 

The big stories in the UK this week have been the British Commonwealth leaders conference in Antigua, where they has been much talk of apologies to nobody in particular (because everybody involves is long dead,) for Britain's role in the Atlantic slave trade and ways of giving African and Caribbean nations huge amounts of UK taxpayers money without looking as if we are paying reparations, and Prime Minister Andy Burnham's efforts to sneak us back into the EU by the back door. The two may be unconnected but the UK back-stabbed commonwealth by joining the EU, neglected its own responsibilities towards citizens of former colonies, then once in Europe was never a wholehearted member..

In spite of this I am happy my vote in the referendum went to the 'Leave campaign. Behind all talk of ever closer union and bringing member states together as 'one nation' members of the political elite that is promoting EU expansion  are ruthless and corrupt sucessors of the former Nazis who created The Common Market, which was the first incarnation of what has become a giant, failing monster. The ‘hopes’ you saw disappear as the EU ‘changed’ from a free trade club of sovereign nations to a corrupt and authoritarian wannabe federal superstate were not what I saw or experienced while working as an IT consultant at the bloc's administrative headquarters in Luxembourg, and the construct was set in its current direction long before the Treaty of Lisbon changed it from a trading bloc to a political federation..

Still in UK there are many who do not know the behind the scenes truth of what the EU is and aims to become, and they blame Britain's inability to fit comfortably into the plan for becoming a federal superstate  on local xenophobia and not EU authoritarianism, corruption or obstruction. That the UK political class are as corrupt and caught up in their own delusions and illusions also is the main reason why Brexit, while not the catastrophe many Europhiles predicted has not been a resounding success or led to a resurgence of The Commonwealth.. Similarly goes for various other UK/EU ‘relic establishments’, which are often used, directly or indirectly, to undermine UK from within UK.

For now, however fake everyman Andy Burnham is trying to wheedle us back in, without a vote and without himself having gained a popular mandate. The contempt of the British political class for any semblance of democracy has been on full display ever since the Brexit vote.
 
In fact the vote itself was only proposed by David Cameron in an effort to gain a Tory majority after the miserable coalition he had run with the Lib Dems and to prevent losses to UKIP under Farage. He had set up the ‘nudge unit’ which he thought could be used to finesse a Remain vote and assumed he would easily win.
 
The  majority of the Uniparty, their owners and donors, as well as leaders of all Europe's liberal democracies, were ideologically wedded to the EU project and assumed it would be an easy win for Remain. That’s why there was no plan for how to leave.
 
After Cameron tendered his tearful resignation, the poison chalice was passed on to the next in to bat who were forced to pretend to honour the vote whilst having not the faintest idea or desire how to achieve it.
 
Many years of political chaos later, Boris Johnson managed finally to deliver the worst possible Brexit, obscured by the scamdemic and ever since it has been dishonestly blamed for everything currently wrong in the UK.
 
Burnham is going to have some very stormy times if he tries to drag the UK back in, especially as the EU seems to be going self-destruct right now. Most British voters don't care one way or the other about apologies for the slave trade, but do care about being forced to pay for reparations when, at the time Britain was leading the civilised world in abolishing slavery (which is still rife in Africa, the middle east and some parts of South East Asia,), their own ancestors were working in near  slave conditions in the Industrial Revolution factories. They also care about being sold down the river (an expression that comes from the slave trade BTW,) to a Brussels based bureaucratic dictatorship.

America lurches to the left as Trump's failure to MAGA turns voters against him.

 

It was confirmed today that far left Islamo - Socialist Abdul El-Sayed, who ran as the Democrats candidate in the US mid - term elections will be the first Muslim in US history to become a Senator after he defeated Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan. The shock effect of his victory was diminished as President Trump's Republicans suffered night of terrible midterm results, losing control of both The House of Representatives and The Senate.

In Texas, Democratic newcomer James Talarico defeated Trump-backed Republican Ken Paxton, while South Carolina elected a Democrat Senator for the first time since 1998.

Most remarkably of all, Kansas sent a Democrat to the US Senate, which it had not done since 1932 during the Great Depression.

There were further stunning Democrat Senate victories in Iowa and Ohio, states Trump won by more than 10 points in the Presidential election in 2024.

American political pundits are suggesting it was Trump's war with Iran and his failure to effect regime change there, plus the effect of the war on fuel prices and the cost of living in general which cost the Republicans the election. 

It looks, from a British perspective, as if the American people have had a fit of collective insanity and voted in a whole collection of terrorist sympathising, criminal loving leftist nutters. If so it is not for the first time in Trump's second term, socialist New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani was quite open about his unAmerican, far left beliefs throughout hi mayoral campaign. But we can’t be sure that it was only the American people that actually voted given the electoral fraud perpetrated by both parties in American elections where, allegedly, it is not unusual for the votes of illegal immigrants, dead people and cartoon characters to outnumber legitimate voters. 

OK,Trump is a divisive character but so were Biden, Obama and Dubya, and it's true that many in the USA and so many suffer from the incurable mental illness known as TDS but this was a massive act of self harm by American voters when you bear in mind that El Sayed and many other newly elected members of Congress who ran as Democrats and not in fact democratic liberals but hard line communists who have been quite open about having formed a party within a party, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). So Americans are about to find out what socialism is really about.

COMEX reported having gold only equal to about half of the short sale in its vaults, and not all of that was available for delivery (quite a lot of it belonged to the german government) In effect the naked shorting of gold could only work because really the right hand was selling to the left hand.

The Demise Of Dollar Hegemony: Russia Breaks Wall Streets's Oil-Price Monopoly In a move that went almost completely unreported in mainstream media, Russia has recently opened a market for the trading of physical and 'paper' oil (futures) in Moscow in Roubles. This is the most blatant challenge yet to the domination of the US dollar in world trade.

WMD in Mayfair
Recalling yesterday's Machiavelli Blog which commented on events surrounding the unfortunate death of the alleged former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko, it seems the murder investigation has now found evidence of many caches (well OK, traces) of radio active toxins in various fashionable establishments in London's West End frequented by former Russian intelligence agents.

China launches global yuan payment system
China’s Central Bank has started a global payment system which provides cross-border transactions in yuan. The China International Payment System (CIPS) intends to internationalize the yuan and challenge the US dollar's dominance.

Refugee Crisis Or Existential Battle With USA for Europe
It has been clear for some years now that the USA, backed by its main NATO and EU military allies the UK and France (the FUKUS axis has been trying to provoke Russian into firing the shot that will be heard around the world and recognised as the startiung signal for World War Three.
Nothing is ever as it seems to be however, and views from middle east and far eastern journals suggest the USA is also working at destabilizing EU nations in order to force their support in its wars.

EU and US talk of war with Russia
The European People’s Party (EPP) is the largest political group in the European Parliament, and they are unerringly supportive of America's efforts to start a war with Russia. “The time of talk and persuasion with Russia is over," MEP and Vice-President of the EPP told a meeting on Tuesday, 21 April, “Now it’s time for a tough policy, and concentration on defence and security ...”

The Mediterranean Boat People Crisis - How Does Europe Deal With The Mediterranean Migrant Crisis
The numbers of migrants trying to cross from the Libya on the coast of north Africa to one of the EU's southern nations is increasing. Europe's impoverished southern nations can't cope. And in the better off nations of northern Europe immigration is a toxic issue which is fuelling the rise of anti EU parties from France to Finnland in the north and Hungary in the east. What can be done?

Politicians and the media talk about the $17 trillion debt the US Government owes to creditors. They are lying, the $17 trillion is a fraction of what america owes. The real figure is $200 trillon. And Obama's loonytoons economics are driving that up at an accelerating rate.

U.S. versus Russia War: Top Russian Politics Scolar Stephen Cohen Tells The Truth
We have been blogging for four years about the US drive for war, provocation of Russia in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine and elsewhere made it obvious.

Good to see experts like Stephen Cohen, a prominent expert on, Russia are coming onside.

Does It matter If The Dollar Is Replaced?
"Without delving too deeply into Austrian economic and capital theory, just let me point out that money printing disrupts the structure of production by fraudulently changing the “price discovery process” of capitalism. Capital is allocated to projects that will never be profitably completed. Bubbles get created and collapse and businesses are suddenly damaged en mass, thus, destroying wealth. (Zero Hedge)"

What the BRICS plus Germany are really up to in the Currency Wars?
The move led by Russia and China to dump the Petrodollar has escalated into a currency war, not the kind of war we assciate Obama with but give him time. Some wars as in Ukraine, by proxy are not going so well. Others, like the one against Islamic State aka ISIS aka ISIL in the middle east are going worse.

Poland In Turmoil: Riots, Protests, Supreme Court Judges Suspended As Court Dispute Turns Into Globalist Coup

Poland is facing renewed political tensions following reports of protests in Warsaw over the suspension of a senior Constitutional Tribunal judge, exposing deep divisions between Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government and the opposition.

The country was hit by a fresh wave of civil disorder as a political crisis triggered by fanatical eurofederalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk's attempt to  suspend the Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and clear the way for him to pack the court with EU friendly judges. Supporters of Polish nationalist party took to the streets in protests which led to clashes with police in Warsaw and other cities. On Friday, October 30, protestors in Warsaw gathered outside the court and attempted to break through security barriers and a number of arrests were made. Polish President Karol Nawrocki reportedly cut short a visit to Africa and returned home amid the unrest.

Tusk’s Europhile government, which is totally committed to handing Poland's national sovereignty to the bureaucrats of Brussels, reducing the Polish legislature, the Sejm, to the role of simply rubber stamping laws and policies dictated by the European Union.  The nationalist opposition Law and Justice party, commonly known as PiS is implacably opposed to this and has pledge to defend Poland's nationhood.. Tusk’s administration has been trying to reverse controversial judicial changes introduced by the previous government. His opponents accuse him of interfering with the courts and undermining Poland’s constitutional system. The confrontation has raised concerns about another prolonged political standoff in the European Union member state, following crises of democracy in France, Germany, Spain and Austria.

Tusk's current government in Poland is a coalition of politically dissimilar parties formed after the parliamentary elections held on October 15, 2023 which resulted in PiS being the largest party but lacking a majority. The ragbag coalition that finally emerged from the chaos was brokered by European Union officials for the sole purpose of preventing Euosceptic PiS from retaining power. However with PiS holding a majority in the Senate, while Tusk's Civic Coalition did not achieve a majority in the lower house.

Therefore Tusk's government faces insurmountable obstacles in government.

Germany's Gen Z protests disrupted by violence on Saturday 

 

Riots, looting and attacks on police broke out in several German cities after the planned Gen Z Halloween protests by tens of thousands of young people across the country demanding better schools, relief from rising living costs and greater social justice.

The demonstrations had been largely peaceful during the day. 

But serious disturbances erupted in the evening in several places.

 

Clashes broke out in Cologne on Saturday, with about 200 people involved in disturbances near Cologne Cathedral.

Police officers were attacked on the square outside the famous cathedral, with bottles and bicycles hurled toward them.

One person was injured, police said.

Authorities detained five people.

In a nearby side street, a window was smashed by an electric scooter thrown during the unrest, police said. 

Worst violence occurred in Frankfurt where police sealed off a major shopping street in city centre on Saturday night after rioters smashed shop windows, looted stores and attacked officers following a demonstration.

Police closed Die Zeil, one of Germany's busiest shopping streets, to incoming visitors and urged bystanders to leave the area.

"Anyone not involved who is still on the Zeil can leave. Access to the Zeil is no longer possible," Frankfurt police said in a post on X and in loudspeaker announcements.

German security forces reported violent incidents in several cites in the wake of the Gen Z demonstrations.

In Hamburg, protesters at the city's Steintor square pelted the police with fireworks, bricks and bottles . Police used "immediate force" to clear the area, including using a water cannon. Several police officers were injured during a similar incident in Frankfurt, according to a state interior minister.

Police also used a water cannon in Cologne, where the march was halted and turned into a stationary rally after some protesters covered their faces and used pyrotechnics.

In Berlin, the authorities noted a rally separate from the official event organized by the Gen Z movement. Police initially reported "isolated instances of throwing eggs and bottles" from a crowd of around 500 people. The authorities later also reported "illegal burning of pyrotechnics" and said the crowd has grown to around 3,000 participants.

Protestors Firebomb French Police In Halloween Riots

An estimated 320,000 people were involved in another weekend of violent  Gen Z protests across France over Halloween weekend, with riot police using tear gas to disperse demonstrators and facing Molotov cocktails in response. In multiple large cities as what began as peaceful marches in protest at the high cost of living, unemployment and falling standards in education and other public services quickly turned violent as looters and far left thugs joined the protestors.

The country's national Gendarmerie police force, notorious for their heavy handed responses to disorder, condemned the "unacceptable violence" deployed against its officers and shared footage of an officer's leg catching fire after  Molotov cocktails was hurled in their direction in Paris.

A statement issued by the force force said the officer was treated for "severe burns". An attempted murder investigation has been launched into the incident, after more than 500 arrests were made nationwide.

Violence erupted across France in cities from Lyon and Toulouse to Marseille, with rioters causing chaos and looting ransacking shops.

Images from Paris also show fireworks exploding after a protester fired them toward riot cops during the demonstration.

Last night's unrest came two weeks after riots and looting caught security forces off guard, leaving damaged shops, public buildings and businesses in cities across France.

Students angry at the dilapidated state of many schools, crowded classes and a university admissions system widely seen as unfair have been joined by trade unions and a re-emergent "Yellow Vest" movement demanding action on the cost of living.

BRAZIL ELECTION CHAOS: Bolsonaro’s Son Reportedly Flees To U.S. After Losing Presidential Election

Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, was forced to flee Brazil for the United States just two days after losing the country’s presidential election to far left wannabe dictator incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In a scenarion suspeciously similar to the fate of Bolsonaro's father, who fled the country after losing a rigged election to communist Lula, Flavio defied a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports amid an ongoing corruption investigation. 

The dramatic developments have plunged Brazil into a new political controversy following Sunday’s rigged election, in which incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Bolsonaro in a closely contested runoff. According to Reuters, Brazilian and American sources indicated that Bolsonaro had departed Brazil and was heading to the United States after failing to comply with a court order requiring him to surrender his travel documents. 

The U.S. Sun also reported that an American official indicated Bolsonaro had boarded a flight bound for the United States, although his arrival and precise whereabouts remained unclear. Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Bolsonaro on Monday to surrender his passports within 24 hours amid concerns that he might flee the country while facing an investigation involving suspected money laundering and tax evasion. 

When the deadline passed without the passports being surrendered, Brazilian authorities moved to cancel their validity, while federal police began efforts to locate the former presidential candidate. The Washington Post and Financial Times also reported on the extraordinary developments, including the court order, the cancellation of his passport and mounting questions about his whereabouts. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now being credited in multiple reports as having secured Bolsonaro's exit from Brazil.  

 Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is now at the center of accusations that he is persecuting his political opposition. As was reported Monday, Bolsonaro was ordered Monday to turn over his passports by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the same judge who oversaw the prosecution of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. 

 The order arose from a money-laundering investigation involving alleged financial dealings with an attorney connected to online betting companies. Flávio Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing, and he has not been formally charged in that investigation. Nevertheless, the court imposed a travel ban on the losing presidential candidate just hours after Lula was declared the winner of Sunday's runoff. 

Bolsonaro was served with the order after visiting his father. "This morning I went to visit my father; as you know, he is under house arrest," Bolsonaro explained in a video. "And when I was leaving, Lula's Federal Police were at his door, and in the middle of the street, I was ordered to hand over my passports. I am also prohibited from leaving the country." At the time, Bolsonaro insisted he had no intention of fleeing.

 "I never thought about leaving the country," he declared. "I will hand over my passports and defend myself against this abomination, which is a clear attempt to intimidate me, but nobody will silence me." But according to Reuters' latest reporting, that deadline has now passed. Brazilian authorities have canceled his passports, while a senior Federal Police official said there was no record of Bolsonaro leaving through a regular immigration checkpoint.

Europe's Wave Of Civil Unrest Expected To Hit Germany On Halloween

 
Leftist protestors clash with police in Barcelona (Picture: Azer News)

 

After a weekend of violent protests and street riots police in Barcelona are preparing for a fresh outbreak of civil unrest  on Halloween. Throughout yesterday and today online groups used called for more violence and looting following weekend unrest that led to 130 arrests.

The warnings follow riots in Barcelona on Saturday and further disturbances on Monday in the northern city of Bilbao, where around 20 people were arrested.

A crowd of young people gathered in central Barcelona on Oct. 24 following a social media campaign promoted under the name Blocus. At least 23 businesses were looted or vandalized, while firefighters extinguished 33 small fires, authorities said. Of those arrested, 76 were minors.

A Telegram group operating under the name Blocus BCN has since circulated messages calling for another gathering on Oct. 31, encouraging participants to wear black clothing and Halloween masks to avoid police identification.

Promotional material also cited recent protests in France as an inspiration in calling for more protests and activism.

The Youth-led protests that began in France and have been gathering momentum since mid September have now spread across western Europe, also reaching Italy, Belgium, Portugal and other countries, with Germany preparing for coordinated protests in 21 cities on Halloween, 31 October. While some of the groups involved in organising the unrest are demanding better treatment for migrants, others are citing mass immigration as one of their main concerns.

Rising living costs, housing insecurity, education problems and concerns over the possible introduction of compulsory military service have fuelled the movement, with young people increasingly using social media to organise protests across national borders, South Korea-based Chosun Biz reported.

Mainstream media in Europe have inexplicably ignored the rising tide of civil unrest. It is bizarre that a Korean news organisation seems to know more about what is going on in Germany that any of Germany's own news services. 

The Korean report warned that on 31 October, the youth group Gen Z stands up (Gen Z steht auf) has nade plans for simultaneous rallies in major German cities, including Berlin and Cologne.

The German demonstrations will build on grievances raised by French students, while adding opposition to military conscription. Germany suspended conscription in 2011 but a new Military Service Act introduced in January this year requires all 18-year-old men to complete a survey on their willingness to serve.

Videos promoting the German protests have spread rapidly on social media sites, with some attracting more than one million views within days. One widely viewed video cited conscription, high fuel prices, difficulties finding housing and jobs, and pension issues, declaring, "The French showed us first, so we'll follow."

While most posts call for peaceful demonstrations, some reportedly encourage violence and use artificial intelligence-generated images to express hopes of unrest similar to that seen in France.

Generation Z Protests Set To Spread Across Europe. UK On The Brink Of Disorder?

Fuel prices for vehicles, homes and business premises in Europe are ballooning, globalist governments have slapped punitive taxes on employing staff, crime is the only activity in the private sector that is growing and mass immigration has driven wages down and prices up. All that (and more,) combines to mean that it no longer pays for a farmer in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium to tend to crops and to harvest existing crops or for a business to produce and sell goods. 

In the UK it is hardly worth moving goods from the factory or farm to the point of sale, every litre of fuel pumped at the station 55 pence is tax plus a further 28pence Value Added Tax goes to the government to be wasted on benefits for legal but non contributing or illegal immigrants, Net Zero lunacy, funding Ukraine's futile war (dubbed by some 'National Suicide',) with Russia and other far left sacred cows.  

The case is that this Labour government, and Labour has always claimed to be the party of thw working classes, has no lost sight of what really matters to the normal voter but instead has lost touch with reality. 

But this epidemic of lunacy is not confined to the UK. We have reported in the past few weeks on riots and civil unrest in France and elsewhere as a protest movement spread from schools and universities into the streets and squares of the cities, where violence and looting closed businesses and brought life to a standstill.

This week tens of thousands of young Gen Z people have taken to the streets in France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Albania. In doing so, they have joined what has been dubbed the Generation Z revolution (those born between 1997 and 2012), which over the past two years helped bring down the government of Bangladesh, force the resignation of Nepal’s prime minister and dissolve Madagascar’s government.   

These riots may have been spontaneous expressions of disgust at the contempt which the political class have shown for the people they govern, but after a month of increasing violence the movement has acquired a more sinister aspect. Well informed commentators say  the extreme left in France, Italy, Germany and Spain are organising civil disorder with the aim of bringing down governments and disrupting the rule of law.  Europe faces a fresh wave of unrest this weekend as protests, looting and clashes grip France, Italy and beyond. Macron faces mounting pressure amid calls for curfews, while anger over rising costs, poor services and political paralysis fuels street discontent as governments, out of ideas, turn to authoritarian measures as they bid to regain control. 

 If there is no change before the UK Budget is announced then after the Bond Markets have destroyed the French economy France the fun starts with the United Kingdom with yields (the real interest rate paid on governments' borrowings, already creeping steadily upwards. 

The Labour government has no clue and, unsurprisingly as they are all career politicians and nobody among them has ever had a real job, let alone run a business, it seems more and more likely they will panic in the face of an economic meltdown after the budget and call a snap election in early 2027 which could deliver a nightmare coalition of the extremes SNP, Greens, Liberals and Labour to stop Tories linked with Reform taking power. And then the lid will come off the pressure cooker that the working class areas of British cities have become.

 Young people have been taking to the streets across Europe, including in Spain, France and Portugal, to protest over their unhappiness at the state of schools and the wider cost of living crisis. In France, high school pupils have clashed with police in often violent protests over long hours, missing teachers, dilapidated classrooms and an opaque university admissions system. Pupils routinely miss months of teaching due to unfilled staff absences. In a wave of activism, youth in France, Belgium, Ireland, and Spain are taking to the streets to address critical challenges affecting their lives. Protesters highlight issues such as the failing education system in France, the financial hurdles in Irish higher education, and the steep rental prices pushing Spaniards into dependency. These movements underscore deep-seated generational anxieties, pointing to a widespread sentiment of uncertainty that resonates throughout Europe.
