@thetimes: Who is the Manchester University graduate becoming the face of the French riots?⁠ ⁠ While most students' idealism goes no further than a pub chat, 22-year-old Franco-British student activist Lola-Fleur Whittaker has taken her grievances to the streets of Paris. ⁠ ⁠ The Sciences Po master's student has emerged as a prominent voice of the protests gripping France, taking part in attempts to storm the presidency and explaining student frustrations on national television. ⁠ ⁠ Now, she is urging young Britons to launch their own revolt⁠ #paris #riots #manchester #grad #europe

How do people read this genuine drivel

8 pointed cross :

Lola is a so called champagne Socialist she is born of a higher class and has never struggled financially. Do not be manipulated by such people who call for a revolution, the first to be sacrificed are always the lower and middle class. She is essentially commanding you to die.

Champagne socialist no doubt

Aaaaaa :

As someone voting in France and up to speed with the news, let’s not exaggerate her role. I personally don’t think distributing food to the homeless makes pillaging shops a legitimate thing. Teenage idealism is great but we all stand to lose if institutions are no longer functioning

Arthur B :

Well those shopkeepers can’t rebuild their businesses with her heart and the employees can’t pay their bills with her heart …!😡😡😡

SuBo :

The far left are utterly deluded, brainwashed, Cleary unhinged and completely detached from reality🥺 the self promotion is sickening

erwanlebras0 :

she appeared during a show on french TV, pretending she never see her father, fake. That her mother is so poor she can only ear biscuits, fake. Speak about how it's harsh to be poor while wearing luxury bags, traveling in Bali and around the world and paying university in England. All her lies have been debunked and she is not the face of the students. At all

edouard :

She was on French TV last week saying that her mother who works as a teacher couldn't afford to buy lunch in her school's canteen, implying that she's from a poor family. Turns out she went to Manchester Uni (as opposed to a free French university) and her instagram is full of travel pictures from around the world. Another vile champagne socialist.
