A very long read. Marvelously written and gives a different picture of France from what the main stream press gives us.

Theodore Dalrymple is a psychiatrist who lives in the UK. He has written extensively on the underclass and a host of social problems. His essays are easily read but long. The essays have the virtue of having a personal touch followed by facts and inductive reasoning.

Europe will fall to Islam within the next fifty years.

I'm not sure about the UK.

thanks for posting this outstanding article.

To eliminate the problem these pests represent, there are three possible routes:
1) tame them
2) deport them
3) kill them

None of those three things will happen, so the problem will not be eliminated. France will mutate into a Muslim sewer. The Strausbourg Cathedral (among others) will be demolished by 2100.

Watch and learn, America.

It sounds like their downtowns are a "St Joe, Birmingham, or Grosse Pointe" and the 'suburbs' there are like "Benton Harbor, Detroit, or Pontiac".

BTTT

A very good read and if you ever have been to certain countries of western Europe you are familiar with the "ring cities".

...vile rubbish receives accolades for its supposed authenticity: for in the multiculturalist’s mental world, in which the savages are forever noble, there is no criterion by which to distinguish high art from low trash.

Great post. Thanks.

There are burned-out and eviscerated carcasses of cars everywhere. Fire is now fashionable in the cités: in Les Tarterets, residents had torched and looted every store—with the exceptions of one government-subsidized supermarket and a pharmacy. The underground parking lot, charred and blackened by smoke like a vault in an urban hell, is permanently closed.

Just like Palestinians expressing their culture. Add in some beheadings and it all becomes so quaint.

This is an extraordinary article. It is long, but well worth the read.

It will give you an idea of what is actually happening in France.

An entire generation has grown indoctrtinated with the Nanny State, anti-capitalism, anti-war,anti-religion, environmentalist crapola that brings with it no responsibility.They are taught that everything is society's fault.

They have been denied by the rigid class structure in France any opportunity to better themselves and join the society as a productive member. In France it is extremely rare to be born poor, and work your way to success.

The result: anarchy, violence, and lawlessness.

My prediction: either a Law and Order, pro-American pro-Capitalist leader likes Nicholas Sarkozy gets elected, or an extremist leader on the Far Right, brings France closer to National Socialism, i.e. Nazism.
