I'm surprised France has gone this long without raising the white flag.

"There is a widespread belief that the government is on the back foot and will be forced to revise its plans" . . .

That about sums up the reporting in France. Nobody is reporting about root causes of labor unrest. Among the chief causes are crazy French immigration policies that allow illegal aliens to work at much lower wages "off the books" for cash. Also, employers do not have to pay for health insurance or social benefits for illegal workers.

Wait just a minute: That sounds just like what is going on in America! Globalization strikes again. Horrors!

More Reports and Riot Photos

I read a few, and then reflexively asked out loud, "Who cares?" These are they navel gazing questions an aging socialist country always asks....."Now what ______ do we give to the collective." Individual Freedom and Responsibility/Initiative not even a concern.

A nation of socialists cannot understand why socialism doesn't work. Good riddance to bad garbage.

I like to joke about the French as much as anyone does, but to see this once great Western nation reduced to a sniveling mass of fearful sheep makes me sad.

Not just sad, but a bit apprehensive. I believe France is ripe for a Socialist Dictator..

The most important thing is to find a common solution.

You are doomed France. The most important thing is to find the right solution, not a common solution.

What a bunch of clowns. No wonder France is now less relevant than Uganda.

Hahaha...! France is the perfect illustration of the secular-socialist welfare state that the Democrat Party has in mind for America. God help us all should that pack of sick scumbags ever get any serious power again.
