@liamrondi: As a British person living in France, I’m disturbed by the version of events being sold to people. On Saturday, half a million people marched across the country – around 35,000 of them through my city, Montpellier, with sixth formers at the front. They’ve been blockading their own schools since September over missing teachers and buildings falling apart, and the cost of living brought everyone else out beside them. A minority indulged in arson, looting and violence, and I won’t pretend otherwise – but the version that’s reached the UK has been stitched together from misinformation, recycled footage and Russian fakes, with GB News deciding on Saturday it was Islamism, on Sunday the ultra-left. I’ve written about what actually happened this weekend and why I’m standing with the people who marched. Full piece, with every source linked, on my website (liamrondi.com), link in bio #France #Montpellier #manifestation #GBNews

some of the students have tried to share videos of the undercover police officer starting bins on fire and one undercover police officer throw a rock at a fire engine but they keep getting taken down

Same here in Finland. The medias only talk about the violence… and ppl think this is a consequence of immigration… the real story is not talked about

I’m so sad for the students. Their message has been completely overtaken and they probably will not get any improvements now.

This is why independent media is so important, but just as important is teaching people to search it out, or how to read a broader set of news, share these networks with relatives/friends that will be open to learning

Definitely agree there, these opportunists did end up burying the message that the protest was and is supposed to be about!!
All I see on tiktok and in the papers here in the UK is all the rioting and looting going on, nothing about the students and their protest!

The fact that it’s children who want a better education speaks volumes, they could have their heads in their phones but they’re fighting for better education and fair education
