No it's here in Turku.

Helsinki looked like this:

80k people in Helsinki in that place. 5 anarchists arrested. So quite peaceful.

I notice that here all the time, go into town, things cost more, go out, it gets way cheaper. I never can figure out why the value of the US dollar changes so much from place to place.
No nyc. Just saw ex machina

It's Vappu. 1 May is the International Worker's Day, so it's a celebration for workers, politicians and students. It's also the unofficial "spring carnival" and often considered the only non-religious holiday in Finland. (Midsummer is Pagan.) Politicians hold speeches, political groups march, regular people drink champagne and mead.

May Day is also the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and the Commies who want to commemorate the Haymarket affair which occurred in Chicago back in 1886.

I've seen that website before. It is clearly very biased and has an agenda to push. Blatantly right-wing. Why anyone would use it as a source of news is beyond me.

I always knew G8RCAT was a bit right-wing.
