France’s ruling elite has so thoroughly sold out the country it isn’t even funny. To the Islamic invaders, to the Fourth Reich - Eu, and now this. Time to get the hell out !

Believe it or not, no. That was a deliberate rule-by-crisis move to keep the people off their feet. Notice that the elites are utterly unaffected by it.
