 What a day … South Korean president declares martial law then parliament overrules him French government on brink of collapse, facing no-confidence vote And in the UK, the British government is talking about re-nationalizing near-bankrupt British Steel as talks with Chinese owners hit deadlock "But Captain, it's only Tuesday!" 4 comments
 @cstross wrt the French government, it had been foreseen for a while. The government is basically composed of the two smallest groups of the national assembly, and the two largest minorities are on the far right and on the left (which this center-right/right government likes to call far left).  @cstross @cstross Current state of the world feels like the Titanic situation, with the people in charge/power living in denial or causing the problem, and then suddenly it’s too later and we’re all going down with the ship. |
