Theodore Dalrymple has long been an accurate chronicler of the disintegration of British culture as liberalism gains more and more control over its culture, government, and economy.

This article mentions at the bottom that he lives in France. He used to be a physician working in British jails. Perhaps he's retired?

Anyway, his article is excellent, as usual. Will France rise up and expel the invaders who are destroying French culture and society? No evidence of it so far.

I hope Americans are watching. Saying "It can't happen here" is just what I'm sure the French did up until the last couple of weeks. It's also what western European Jews said in the 1930s. Our safe and comfortable lives make us believe we're somehow protected from the violence and conquest that are the norm for many other countries. We're not, and the evidence that we're going to have to fight and defeat the would-be conquerors is mounting.

"Will France rise up and expel the invaders who are destroying French culture and society? No evidence of it so far."

Isn't it interesting that the French have been known to be fanatic about the "purity" of their language. They have a cabinet level position that "decides" for example the proper word for e-mail (i.e. courier d'electonique, I believe)
Yet this same group can't seem to see the importance of fighting for democratic values. They have been awash in socialism so long that, like an overly permissive parent, they allow people to enter their country and receive all the benefits thereof without working since there are few jobs to be had. Why? Socialism rather than a free enterprise system produces stagnancy.
Always remember that John F'in Kerry would have us BE like France...as would many of the Democrats.

Yes, Dalrymple and his wife recently retired from UK's NHS.
He was a shrink and she was (is) also an MD. His real name is Anthony Daniels. He had to write under a pen name because of his harsh criticism of the NHS.

Most of the "invadrs" are citizens. A major Western country has not expelled citizens based on their religion or ethnicity for a long time.
