London is an uglier, more dangerous 'suburb of Paris' claims French politician

A leading French politician described London as a ‘suburb of Paris’ today as the two cities continued a war of words over which is the most popular in the world.

Anne Hidalgo, who until recently was President Francois Hollande’s Socialist culture minister before running for mayor of the French capital, said there was more crime in the English capital, less entrepreneurial businesses starting up, and fewer foreign visitors.

But she did concede that there was more dog waste on Paris pavements, and that notoriously rude Parisians 'should be kinder'.

UK-based tourist agency Visit Britain claimed London broke the 16-million visitor bar last year, with Paris attracting 15.9 million people.

But in an angry riposte, Paris city hall put out a statement today saying the figures were utterly misleading.

Try going to Paris theater and then compare it to the glories of London theater. The French don’t know what they are talking about.

That is the most accurate assessment by far. Sadly, America will be the same in 30 years due to Zero.

I love London, and wasted a day of my last trip there by taking a day trip to Paris. Never again!

“...and that notoriously rude Parisians ‘should be kinder’.”

Used to be every few years the French ministry of tourism would launch a courtesy campaign called “Operation Bonjour!” Bonne chance avec ca, m’sieur.

Characteristic Parisian rudeness now combined with their wonderful muzzie problem - who would want to miss it?

As for me: “Why should I travel? I’m already here!”

I love London more so then Paris. Although both are incredibly great places, London is so much fun. I don't know where all these Muslims are in London but I never see them anywhere. They could be on the outskirts I guess. In Paris, I did not see many Muslims either, but on a bus ride to Versailles you can see them.

Well I know for a fact that Obama does not have a thing to do with Dearborn. How that was allowed to happen is beyond me. I don’t know which President allowed it, but they should be penalized for it.

As of 2010 census the population of Dearborn was 98,153. The racial and ethnic composition was 89.1% Whites, 4.0% black or African-American, 0.2% Native American, 1.7% Asian, 0.2% Non-Hispanics of some other race, 4.0% reporting two or more races and 3.4% Hispanic or Latino.[14] 41.7% were of Arab ancestry (categorized as “White” in Census collection data).[15]

Muslims are included in the White Census Data? WTF!!! As a Population, Whites are even less then we think. Good Lord, I wonder what the actually Caucasian population is in the United States. With Muslims and some Latino groups included in our numbers, I can only imagine how small the numbers are for Caucasians.

All those muzzie automobile arson cases? Not in Paris, in the French suburbs instead. Thanks Berlin_Freeper.
