Point is: France is in a state of emergency right now, and will be for several months. All school trips within France have been cancelled for now; all school trips from the UK to France are being warned against by the Foreign Office also for now.

Both of those are only very temporary, but the state of emergency isn't. I'd wait until that's lifted before doing Eurodisney tbh.

Yeah I've looked into it already. The cancellation of school trips runs until Sunday so I'm holding off to see what gets said after that. We don't go until 15th December so there's plenty time to cancel if need be.

You cowards. Probably the sort of people who applaud when a plane lands.

You're infinitely more likely to die in a car crash en route to Euro Disney.

Fuck going to a place in a state of emergency tbh

Can't muster up a bit of sympathy for Syrians though

Anti-abortion because the foetus is a living being, but can't support shelter for children fleeing war.

This makes them natural allies. It also makes the blind spot which the West has continually exhibited towards them quite breathtaking: and as the video showed, that blind spot is still going on. As a NATO ally, we should be able to tell Turkey to stop fucking bombing the Kurds, but we don't. Why?

Over the last year, thanks to American aerial support, no force on the ground has done more to contain ISIS and begin to push them back than the Kurds. They are heroes. It is extraordinary that we aren't doing more to help them. When the Syrian war finally ends, my earnest hope is that both Syria and Iraq (both of which are completely unnatural, unwieldy countries, forced together by British and French imperialists) are formally partitioned, and Kurdistan finally becomes an independent country. But as ever, Turkey, Iran and Iraq will all set their face against it, so heaven only knows how it happens.

Repped. Agree completely.

A familiar state of affairs for the US right:

It's a small world after all.

I wouldn't call not taking your kids in to a terrorist war zone 'cowardly', Acey just common sense.

"terrorist war zone" Come on man.

Sorry, *people having a lark with guns and bombs.

I was ripped on here for saying I love a jambon beurre, and that's what Mak is referencing. File next to Kingston tops.

Aside: is that a Spanish-speaking custom? I've only ever heard it when flying to and from LatAm.

Incidentally, when on holiday, Argentinians applaud when the sun goes down. Which is both and really rather adorable all at the same time.

Wouldn't know that feeling given that the sun never sets on the British Empire
