Yer froggies were a-colonising in the twelfth century?

If only Grenfell were prestigious enough for home-grown billionaires to donate their pocket change to it in a charitable (read: tax deductible) act.

Residents of Flint (MI) and Puerto Rico're saying similar in the US.

[Daley Mayle]

Yebbut, aren't these examples of philanthropy from multi-millionaires just a 21st century version of people wanting to seek redemption when their Final Judgement day comes around?

'But St Peter, can I call you Pete by the way? No? OK, St Peter, I might have done a lot of bad things making my money but look what I did for one of your cathedrals. Yes, it was tax deductible but...'

[Kreuzberger]

Meanwhile, three churches in the deep South which have been torched have received a flood of donations in the last 24 hours.

I am going out on a limb here but I think it is still all to play for. Non Pasaran!

It doesn't get any Frencher than this.

Fridays for Future; turn up a day late and the whole thing descends in to the mother of all riots.

Black Bloc & Gilets Jaunes get gassed? Using a climate change march for an excuse to lob cobbles at the CRS? Saying that the manif was peaceful until the Black Bloc kicked off with their usual anti-capitalist schtick. 163 arrested.

Way to go - discredit the climate change protests...

[Kreuzberger]

Sooo frustrating. You'd expect it from Putin's little helpers but not from the Blocers. Indymedia aren't even mentioning what has happened. Which is not to their credit.

Don't get in that Facel Vega, Albert...

[The Red Arrow]

Not much happening there at all, apparently. No siree. Pretty quiet.

[The Red Arrow]

Nothing to see here. Just a police v firemen street fight.
