‘It makes a mockery of people!’ French protesters not ready to back down in the face of Macron’s controversial pension reform With mass protests against Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform plan entering their seventh day, French workers and unions signaled that they are not ready to back down in their efforts to have the new scheme completely scrapped. In a much-anticipated speech on Wednesday, French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe resisted protesters’ demands and said he was “totally determined” to implement the “fair” plan which would replace a fragmented, but generous, system of more than 42 separate state pensions with a new universal points-based scheme. What’s in the plan? Philippe said the proposal would give every pensioner the same rights fo...

NFL's Patriots claim innocence in sideline filming incident, but nobody’s buying their excuses The New England Patriots have an image problem – once again. The Patriots play the Bengals this week, and their cameras were pointed at the Cincinnati sidelines, in violation of the league rules.

The explanation provided by the Patriots blamed the team’s television production crew for the incident, and said it had nothing to do with “football operations.” The film crew was doing a report on the team’s advance scouts, who travel on a w...

‘I’ll strip naked for a WILD swim in Loch Ness’: Former Scottish Tory leader makes audacious election pledge

Uncategorized

‘I’ll strip naked for a WILD swim in Loch Ness’: Former Scottish Tory leader makes audacious election pledge Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson is making a splash with a promise to skinny-dip in Loch Ness, the habitat of the elusive ‘monster’, if the Scottish National Party (SNP) wins 50 seats in the snap general election. Davidson, who will be hoping the SNP does not repeat their tally of 56 which they achieved in the 2017 election, claimed she made the pledge safe in the knowledge that “that my modesty (and others’ eyeballs) will remain unmolested.” I will happily wager to strip naked on the banks of Loch Ness and subject myself to a Hogmanay wild swimming session should such a result occur. There are 59 parliamentary seats availa...

‘It’s either sanctions or impeachment’: Lavrov in trolling mode when asked about timing of his visit to US

Uncategorized

‘It’s either sanctions or impeachment’: Lavrov in trolling mode when asked about timing of his visit to US Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov denied there was anything odd about the ‘timing’ of his trip to Washington on a day that impeachment articles against Donald Trump were announced and the Senate debated new Russia sanctions. Asked about the “timing” by a suspicious reporter following his Oval Office meeting with Trump on Tuesday, Lavrov joked that it was almost impossible to arrive in Washington at a non-controversial time, since something dramatic is always happening. “It seems to me that, regardless of the day you choose to visit Washington, it will surely coincide with either sanctions or impeachment or something else,” he told journali...
