Default Yellow Vests II: French Farmer Boogaloo.....Farmers Blockading Toulouse and Paris

They're pissed about the French government trying to seize farms and stop production of food. The French government, acting on orders from the WEF/globalists/Brussels cabal are trying to seize farms because of mUh cLiMaTe ChAnGe. The farmers, understandably, aren't excited about going along with this.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-68126373

Quote:
Many roads in and out of Paris remain blocked tonight by protesting farmers and their tractors, in what they've described as a "siege" of the French capital.

As we bring this page to an end, here's a look at how the day played out:

Farmers took to the streets at around 14:00 local time (13:00 GMT) - they've since told local media these protests could last for days
They said their aim was to stop food deliveries to supermarkets
They're angry about a number of things, including falling incomes, rising bureaucracy and competition from imports
The French government has pledged that additional support for farmers will be announced tomorrow
France's Prime Minister Gabriel Attal sat down with farming unions earlier, but we've not yet heard what - if anything - was agreed

There have been similar protests elsewhere across western Europe - the crossing between Germany and France was blocked by tractors earlier, as was the motorway connecting Belgium with Luxembourg

And yet nobody confronts the liars who are pushing the false climate change agenda.

NEWS FLASH: The climate changes and mankind cannot change it, one way or the other.

Making the world live in fear and starvation is a ploy to govern them and nothing more.

I have extended family that farms. Farmers want to be left alone to do what they do, which is feed people....and BE LEFT ALONE. Your globalist John Kerry types are intentionally screwing with people who aren't hurting anyone, who are making about the most honest living their is, world wide. But these one world government types in Brussels, the usual suspects.....they just can't let it go. They just keep on attacking people they see as easy targets.
