Re: French Riots

Yellow vest movement start up again.

One of the protesters holds up a sign, reading: "Incompetent, Menteur, Assassin Macron Degage!"

This translates to: "Incompetent, Liar, Assassin Macron get lost!"

Oh dear.

I see that Macron has lost his majority also as seven of his party members have resigned.

Chortle.

Bearing in mind that I see the French nation as our enemy, I hope I don't sound too ungracious if I describe this as good news!

Although France is obviously disunited, I'm afraid that they are not alone. When I think about the changes that have happened to this country over my lifetime (the last 67 years), we as a nation are certainly not as united as we once were.

There has always been a constant disagreement between the left and the right politically which, since the 1970s and the great trade union problems, has beset us and our well-being as a nation.

Strangely, compare other European countries - Germany for example - and we see far less of an ongoing and constant left-right battle. Most do have such opposing groups in their parliaments, but somehow they seem able to work together for the common good.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could throw off this disagreement?

Reports suggest that as well as the 20 named generals, around 100 high-ranking serving and ex-officers, and more than 1,000 other military personnel, gave anonymous support to the letter.

The signatories warned the president and his government of a slide into division and anarchy.

“If nothing is undertaken, laxity will continue to spread inexorably in society, causing, in the end, an explosion and the intervention of our comrades in action in a perilous mission of protecting our civilisational values and safeguarding our compatriots in the national territory," the letter said.

“There is no more time for procrastination, otherwise tomorrow the civil war will put an end to this growing chaos, and the dead, for which you will bear responsibility, will number in the thousands.”

France has witnessed a series of horrific attacks carried out by Islamist terrorists.

Her attacker, Jamel Gorchene, 36, a Tunisian allowed to settle in France after entering illegally, was from M'saken, the same town as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who killed 89 people in a lorry attack in Nice in 2016.

Mr Gorchene had previously expressed sympathy on social media for victims of terrorism.
France in a very precarious situation, you do feel some sympathy for them.

I suppose so. I have always derided the Frogs, as everyone here must now realise, but of course the real dusky people in the woodpile are their politicians.

Isn't that always the case?
