Ireland and France Do What Americans Can't or Won't

Wednesday, October 07, 2026

PROTESTS have taken place across Britain in support of the Garvaghy Road residents who are blocking a planned march through their area in Co. Armagh by the Orange Order. A demonstration has been underway along the road in Portadown for more than a week, after legal challenges failed to overturn a ruling from the Parades Commission allowing the march to go ahead for the first time in 28 years. More than 15,000 people made their way to Garvaghy Road to protest against the march over the weekend.

Why, with the daily injustices of this administration are Americans not protesting, daily.

Shut the damn country down

Nationwide strikes to end the war, stop the corruption, shite impeach the bastard

Why are Americans such punks?

If they didn't burn down NEW 90M Euro schools, I might actually believe TruthNLies.

They had a student on France TV complaining about getting up at 10am for classes, and everyone laughed.
The protests have turned even immigration proponents against immigration.

The fact is the riots in France complaining austerity is a hilarious lie because France GOV spends 57% of GDP.

France spends above average OECD per pupil, how much more does it need to spend? TruthNLies? How much?
