Wut? French blue was always darker than EU blue. No wonder nobody noticed.

I was also surprised to see it in our evening TV news. I never noticed that, and I quite follow French stuff a lot because I lived there a couple of years. :lol:

 

Apparently last year Macron suddenly decided to swip the blue to a even more darker "Navy" blue, so now it looks almost like black, even though almost no one in the world has noticed lol, even Totallympics has now the non-existing blue in :FRA:lol:

So apparently this flag ain't new but just goes back to the traditional version. Again, people just don't notice that because everyone probably realizes it's dark blue (and different to Russian blue or Swedish blue).

I like the easily understood wording of the PM.

 

I don't always agree with him, but in this case he is absolutely right. Call them for what they are instead of pretending they're worth some nicer term.

Very tragic night here. :( First there was a fire at a retirement home that killed 9 people. Now, when i woke up, found out there was a Macedonian bus accident, in the middle of the night, with 52 people, 45 of which died, many children of them. :( :(

 

They were 4 buses returning to Macedonia from vacation to Istanbul, when one of them hits the railing, flips over and bursts into flames. Only 7 people manage to escape. Our police/medics said they haven't seen such horrific scenes, when arriving. Macedonian PM and other diplomats are already here as well.

Horrible indeed :cry: 

 

Also yet another reason why I've got so much respect for first responders of any kind, imagine being a firefighter, police officer, medic or whatever and walking into a horror scene like this...how they are able to put it aside for a second and actually help, I don't know.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin a registered sex offender who was released on 1,000 USD bail for running over the mother of his child run over a Christmas parade and killed five people. Oh yeah, the guy is black and all the deceased are white hence why the BLM movement stays silent on the matter. I wonder if this guy will use the race card to escape getting jailed for life?
