So what happened with that?

Knowing Belgium; the attempt to the collapse the government probably collapsed from lack of support, the government collapsed nevertheless soon after

[martinuzz]

I haven't seen any follow-up article in my newspaper. Perhaps I should read a belgian newspaper every once in a while.

What's the decent journalism newspapers in Belgium? De Morgen and de Standaard?

[dragdeler]

IDK because I don't care a lot about what goes on here, but if the german newspaper scene thoughtme anything is avoid the biggest one like the plague... BILD is an insult to dead fish... anyway just checking aaaand yup... by size:


1 the standaard: christdemocratic
2 de morgen: center left
3 de tijd: economic liberalism

honorable mentions: metro seems to exist in both french and dutch, het laatste nieuws might sell even more than de standaard but something about the list makes me feel like it's probably not counted in the same manner, might not be print based or whatever

They had to stop, nothing changed except the people who did the hungerstrike are in bad shape.

France pulls out of UK defence talks after accusing UK of being a US vassal for torpedoing (hah) French-Australian submarine deal

I'm sure this had absolutely nothing to do with France supporting Italy's seizure of Australia's vaccines

[scriver]

We've been talking about that in the American thread but what's that about Italy seizing (I can't spell pls help) Australian vaccines?

During the 2nd wave of covid various EU countries went turbo pirate on other countries' vaccines. My favourite one was when they seized loads of British owned vaccines in Italy... That were sold for export to Italy. Literally stealing your own stuff. But yeah France supported Italy's anti-Aussie move saying it wasn't anti-Aussie, it was just they weren't meeting their own health interests. Now France is saying Australia is being anti-France, whilst Australia is saying Naval Group just wasn't meeting Aus's defence interests. The hypocrisy is rank; the insults to our countries is just pointless, but hey if they want to burn bridges they can burn bridges all they want

The current leader of the biggest Swedish Party (also the prime minister) announced a while back that he will step down from his position this fall, after the annual party meeting where they elect a new leader. The other week he participated in his last party leader debate, and at the end of it he was gifted a customary present from all other party leaders. The present from the leader of the far-right nationalist party, the Sweden Democrats, was a book about Swedish sausages with a real sausage attached as a bonus. The sausage’s name was ”Die Harder 6.0”.

[Loud Whispers]

That's a pretty nice political tradition. More political candidates should gift each other sausages; but that is an odd name for a sausage

[voliol]

It was apparently very spicy. The gifter assured it was by no means a threat or a wish for future misfortune, though one can wonder considering the political animosity between the two whether choosing the sausace was intentionally treading that thin line of what can be called out and what can not.

All in all the gifting was wholesome though, he also got tickets to the new ABBA concert.

Potential terrorist attack in Norway. At least four dead.

Now they use bows and arrows.

Can't wait to hear gun grabbers coming for bows, now.

[Loud Whispers]

You got to get these high capacity quivers off our streets

[martinuzz]

We can't have people running around with semi-aromatic sticks

The scented candles are truly horrifying.

The worst, I say! Weapons of mass destruction is what they are! The military uses them in lieu of cobalt-salted nuclear bombs.

Someone get the Hague in on this violation of the Geneva conventions!

[Loud Whispers]

When does a stick become a deadly weapon? Lawyers say the matter is a distinction marked by the user's enthusiasm
