The French are undergoing a terrible wave of criminality, in which thousands of cars are routinely torched for fun and more and more immigrant suburbs are no-go areas for the police. Chirac and Jospin's unwillingness even to address this issue only confirmed their image as the arrogant co-regents of a remote, insulated elite.
I've not seen this situation described before. No wonder the immigrant issue hit a nerve. Exporting of immigrants IS a big deal solution on the minds of many Frenchmen, apparently. This is one to watch.
There have been some very interesting articles on crime in Europe lately...but it is a subject that no one in Europe wants to talk about...they prefer to point to the USA as the crime nation. Mark Steyn wrote a great article on crime in England and how it skyrocketed about the time England confiscated everyone's fire arms.
