Shouts of “dictatorship” were heard as one of the leaders of France’s anti-government Yellow Vest movement was arrested in Paris late on Wednesday, after authorities charged him with organizing and leading an unauthorized protest. Eric Drouet was detained by police as some of the movement’s supporters gathered in the capital’s Place de la Concorde, near the iconic Arc de Triomphe monument. People left candles in remembrance of the movement’s wounded in clashes with police. Drouet was detained while reportedly en-route to the memorial. Footage of the arrest shows several French riot police escort him away from the crowds while supporters chant his name while he is being led away. After that, several other protesters were grabbed from the crowd and led away by police while remaining Yellow Vests sang the national anthem. Tweeting his support for the man, left-wing politician Jean-Luc Melenchon called the arrest an “abuse of power,” and the target of p

French police are being urged close police stations on Wednesday as part of a protest over pay and conditions - including a demand to be paid the 23 million hours of overtime they are owed - as the government scrambles to quell growing unrest among the country's forces of law and order. After the yellow vests, it's now the turn of the blue vests (gilets bleus) to show their anger as French police unions are calling on officers to picket France's police stations on Wednesday and only answer emergency calls as they fight for better working conditions and pay. Talks were held between police unions and the Interior Minister Christophe Castaner on Tuesday but they failed to find a solution to quell the anger. On Wednesday, when talks will continue, police unions have urged members to "do the minimum" meaning only respond to emergencies. They have also been encouraged to block the entrances of local police stations (commissariats). One police union is promising a

The Yellow Vest movement reached Ireland this past Saturday (15/12/18), with approximately 200 people taking to the streets of Dublin in hi-vis vests, protesting among other things, the government of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, and his regime of nanny-statism and extortionate taxation. However, at the demonstration, there was a clear divide between two different groups, roughly half and half in number. One group consisted of normal everyday Janes and Joes, new to street activism. The other, consisted of the usual bunch of Far Left types such as People Before Profit and #TakeBackTheCity activists. Neither side cooperated well, in chanting or even when it came to marching in the correct direction. By the time the procession made it to the Department of the Taoiseach, having started at the Customs House at 2pm, it had halved in number. It should have been obvious that this would happen before the crowd gathered outside the Customs House. In the weeks before the event,

Finally some right-minded people are getting together and are about to fight what appears to be a political correct attack on one of the country’s best known hospitals, Our Lady Of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda. We published a story that rocked far beyond the constraints of the County Louth border. After publication, thousands of comments, shares and messages have been posted and sent across Ireland showing people’s anger towards a politically correct proposed name change of Our Lady Of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda on the alleged suggestion that its Catholic name ‘Lourdes’ may cause offence to non Catholics. Now however the good people of Drogheda have decided to fight back. We’ve been informed that a march is scheduled to take place from the heart of the town outside Drogheda Town Centre on West St this Saturday at 3pm where groups of people will walk from West St through the town right up to the entrance of Our Lady Of Lourdes hospital protesting any s
