It's amazing that this has dropped so far out of the daily news cycle considering how far the violence has escalated. As far as I can make out from the little I can garner (mainly podcasts) There is now a police crackdown with wide spread use of baton rounds, water cannon, mace and tear gas and freely wielded batons in an attempt by the state to put down an open revolt in a neighboring country. Then of course there is the attempted bank run. is there some form of reporting restriction in place or are the media self censoring? I've seen a couple of politically focused articles on the BBC but nothing really focused on what's going on in the streets. How is this not newsworthy?

You can imagine the wall-to-wall coverage by the media if this was happening in the USA! The pro-EU mainstream media are desperate to play this down, especially as Macron is their liberal darling.

I can already hear French tanks moving into Northern Italy.

I think the biggest problem the 'Yellow Vests' have is their name. The Nazi's had the 'Brown Shirts' which sounds way more menacing. You wouldn't mess with a Brown Shirt, but a Yellow Vest? its like being in the Red Hand Gang. Or the dead hand gang

This is clearly a UK Government sponsored news blackout.
