Climate protesters flash MPs during Brexit debatePolice have arrested 12 people on suspicion of outraging public decency after climate change activists stripped off to stage a protest in the House of Commons while MPs debated Brexit. Scotland Yard said: "12 arrests have been made for outraging public decency." An earlier statement from the force had said: "The protesters are naked and one of them has super-glued themselves to a window.

I am watching "The Pink Panther" on TV right now. It's nice to remember Paris before the fall. Or at least some version of it in my own head.

Last summer (on our 'Last Tango in Europe' tour) Marta convinced me to go to Paris. I had heard sooo many tales from sooo many people about French rudeness. Everybody I met was VERY nice and VERY polite. I was pleasantly stunned (and pleased), as I had been prepared for the worst. Train strikes were underway, so we had to jump barricades and various things ... and French people showed us the 'proper' techniques. Viva la France! Versailles was overrun with hordes of Chinese. This summer we are doing Liguria and the SE French Med coast. (up into the Maritime Alps and old fortified hill towns). Perhaps I'll learn the 'La Marseillaise'.

I think that these crazy groups have come about as an unintended consequence of our own economic success. Thanks to the advent of modern fertilizer, we have such food abundance, nothing like it in the history of man. And our economic machinery produces well enough that we seem to be paying low income people stipends just to keep them from rioting, and the left hatches these idiotic progressive campaigns out of sheer boredom. These nutcases are being fed and cared for like domesticated animals, in the past they would have not had time to goof off like that.

Cult of the Magic Acorn There is social moral here, but I'm not sufficiently caffeinated to see it.

All Self-Righteous Social Movements End Up Somewhere. Did Monty Know Where? Perhaps Beto Does.
Alas. The Seers Are in Short Supply.

I have been moved to the center of the building with no lights on in external offices and told that to leave I would need to go through a basement fire escape - just in case the police check saw anyone working beyond the allowed number of hours.

That sounds incredible from over here in the US. Meanwhile I will continue to watch old movies to satisfy any European cravings.
