I Am A Swede

These two incidents are most likely part of the escalating conflict that started with the gruesome murder of teacher Samuel Paty a few weeks ago.

There's been a rapid increase in new cases here recently, so yesterday new restrictions were implemented in some regions, including where I live. Libraries, museums and other public buildings have shut down for three weeks, the ban on gatherings of more than 50 that had been relaxed somewhat has been re-introduced. We are also strongly advised to stay away from shopping malls, bars, restaurants etc and only use public transport if it's absolutely necessary. Schools will remain open for the time being, but those who can are strongly recommended to work from home.

Connery's first wife, actress Diane Cilento, accused him of physical and mental abuse in her autobiography back in 2006, so there seems to be a disturbing trend regarding his attitude towards women.

Another attack at a church in France. A priest has been shot and seriously injured in Lyon. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54763136 This comes only a few days after three people were murdered inside a church in Nice https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54736277

In memory of Sean Connery

Wow, a true icon has left us. R.I.P. Mr. Connery ETA: I would have thought that he deserved his own thread....

Not Michael Jackson?!

^^ Ouch Kirstie, that burn has got to hurt!

I've been watching a lot of videos with this CNN anchor, Brianna Keilar, recently, and she's masterful at dismantling Trump and his cronies, and she always has the footage to prove her pont.

Wow, it's rare to see someone be so uncomfortable on tv as the guy on the left here, republican senator David Perdue. It's a beautiful thing to behold.

How pathetic can you get? "Please give me money" (Is it just me or does he remind anyone else of Beverly Leslie from Will & Grace?)

Oh I can totally understand their reasoning. "Guiding Light" sounds so much more hip and cool than "The Guiding Light". Surely the younger demographic would flock before the tv screens after that monumental change....

It might have changed since then, but yes, France was opposed to allowing Turkey to join the EU as a full member some years ago.

Why did they drop the "The" from The Guiding Light anyway? I never quite understood that.

I don't know whether I should 😄 or 😭 There are seemingly no limits to people's stupidity!

Yes I saw it. Unfortunately I don't have a Facebook account so I can't watch it. Maybe it's about time I got one.....

Tensions have been rising between France and Turkey for a while, and it's been escalating rapidly the last few days. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54692485 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54678826
