That's the guy!...the one that proposed that piece of nanny shit legislation...
Gawd help us if the WA legislature get a hold of that...then they could declare that everyone with a yellow jacket is a subversive and write up some more 'anti-terrorism' law...
Oh be still my beating sarcasm!...

I've been watching the series 'Story of Europe'. Last night they covered (among other things) the French Revolution. Lots of content about how a total disconnect between Europes ruling elite and the masses created the conditions for revolt in 1848. Macron, Merkel, May, Trump et al might could benefit from an improved understanding of European Socio-economics and politics leading upto the 1848 pan-european revolution. I think its possible the yellow vest movement could go down this path. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848

The French during the first yellow vest demonstrations were shouting we want Trump. In Spain they got a populist government - but they are financially broke and too much spending on migrants, so have to bow to the EU requirements to get financial aid. Not long and the whole system unravels.

They seem to have made in onto South Park tv series already. Latest episodes about the Amazon 'Fulfilment Centre' and the hamster wheel of average lives are great.
