..."French policy in general has been blamed for herding poor Arabs into suburban ghettoes where they have been left to fester in high unemployment and poverty."

How can this BE in socialist utopia?

As someone else pointed out, Marx was in favor of banning all immigration and emmigration. Socialism has nothing to offer immigrants but handouts.

From Monday night there will be a curfew imposed on Raincy.

Raincy is a neighbouring suburb to Clichy-sous-Bois were the unrest started 27 October. This is the first curfew that has been declared during the present riots. It is an exceptional measure, according to the mayor, Eric Raoult. There is no information at present how long the curfewis expected to last. [NB: Comment by idiot journo, not ScaniaBoy ;-) ]

(All according Paris, TT on Svenska Dagbladet website.)

Present car-count: 4700

Good point. Whenever a riot occurs in the U.S., the liberal media propaganda mill says it's because Reagan/Bush/Republicans don't spend enough money on government social programs for the poor. But all these riots are happening in socialist France, where everyone has free health care and where there are no "greedy" employers like Wal-Mart because the government forces companies to give lots of vacation time and benefits and it is nearly impossible to fire anyone.

The P.C. broadcast media are doing their best not to report that the rioting is being done by Arabs and Muslims. But if these are just "poor" people then the liberals have no explanation at to why they would riot when they are getting so many government goodies.

I like to think that Buffalo is a socialist utopia.
