Up the Tories! -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird (Buen mueble de patio) BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24 OMF #15 UKRMMA #30
If you think that this animal bears any resemblance to the Tories of MacMillan and Heath, then you obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about. The problem is that democracy is once again revealed not as the best system, but as the 'least worst'. France will live to regret the day that this 'clone of le Pen' was given the keys to the Elysée. For two hundred and eighteen years, this country has (imperfectly most of the time) striven to observe the tenets of 'liberté, égalité, fraternité'. No more. From now on, a country already dangerously controlled by certain elements within the Ministry of the Interior (the national police, to name but one) will probably be a police state within two years. ID checks, already widespread (and mainly illegal, despite an 'urban myth' believed by 95% of the French population, that the police can check your ID without reason. They can't, even if they do in practice), will target ethnic minorities and immigrants. The thirty-five hour week has been criticised by many on the left and the right. The problem is that many on the left and the right are as thick as fucking shit rammed into the neck of a beer bottle, and it terrifies me that these cretins have the right to vote. The thirty-five hour week created a million jobs, but the right claims that it cost jobs, and the media (most of whom are owned by the right-wing magnates) perpetuate this myth. Sarkozy cancelled the beat cops in housing estates, even attacking a few cops who were playing football with immigrant youths, saying, 'we don't pay you to be social workers'. The result was a twofold increase in delinquancy, and the riots of 2005 that you all saw on your television screens. But no one mentions what Sarkozy has done to France. I have heard people say, 'Sarko says what he's going to do, and he does it!' All I can say is ROFLM*FUCKING*AO!! The man makes promise after promise, after promise, and none is kept. Like when a police station in a suburb was torched, he turned up hours later, surrounded by thirty or so armed '~Special Branch' cops, and said, 'you'll get more manpower, I promise!' They never did, but the media 'forget' this. I never finished my 'tangent' of a few hours ago. The school I teach in is surrounded by barbed wire fences three metres high. There are two security posts, manned during school hours, the guards being paid by the Consistoire de Paris. They've just installed installing eight surveillance cameras, and to get in, you need to show ID, and the first couple of times, you're searched; as is your bag. I often go out into the playground and watch the children playing, as I love the sound of children laughing, and I occasionally look at the barbed wire fences surrounding us. Because we're Jewish. Go to Paris's main Synagogue, and what do you see ? A coachload of 'CRS' (riot police) stationed outside 24 hours a day. Go to my Synagogue on any of the main Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippour etc), and you'll see armed policemen at both ends of the street, and private security guards at the door. When I go to Madrid in July, I'm going to have to go and show ID at the Synagogue there, or I won't get in on Shabbat [1]. All because we're Jewish. We live in a climate of fear and hatred. I have this very, _very_ fetching pupil, who's eighteen. Definitely the foxiest in the whole school. A cross between Natalie Portman and well, Natalie Portman. Friday morning, I have two hours with that bunch of ill-mannered reprobates, from 11:15 until 13:00, and as soon as I arrived, she .. let's call her Myriam, showed me the campaign 'flyer' that she had, with Sarko's face on it, which she then proceeded to kiss. I'm like, 'gimme that, you dumb cow!' (I paraphrase), and I confiscated it. 'Why do you want to vote Sarko?' I asked (strictly speaking, she turned 18 too late to vote). 'Because he's Jewish!' she cried. 'Oh **** me...' I groaned. His claim to be Jewish is a bit iffy to begin with, but for ****'s sake, voting for some **** because he's Jewish? Would the dumb bitch have been snogging a photo of H****r, if he'd been born to a Jewish mother? Still ... my fate is sealed. I'll be out of France within 18 months. On the face of it, I have little to fear. I'm white, Jewish, more-or-less middle classish, I dress reasonably well, and as from ten pm this evening, Lag B'omer ends and I can shave (thank ****!) and therefore look a bit less like a hippy. But I don't envision living in a country where distrust and hatred take over from compassion and humanity. France is about to get anally raped. I'm going to take pleasure in slapping the fucking faces of the retarded cunts who voted for that neo-fascist, and who will be the first to whinge, 'What?? The police can intern me without trial??!! How shocking!!' <SLAP!> 'I tried to tell you, you fucking retarded muppet, but would you listen??' Rant over. For now. D. [1] http://www.comjudiamadrid.org/welcome.htm
Three words and he lands one. You're my latest Idol. TOG might post something later that relegates you to second place but until then you're up there with the greats.

Des, Hope you get over your little tantrum soon. Isn't it a bit hypocricital of you to praise the French political system based on Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and the Guillotine? You really shouldn't be criticizing your adopted fellow countrymen or lusting over your pupils; that might lead to deportation in the new 'police state.'
snip> I seem to recall him posting about lusting after his ex's 16 year old sister on a previous occasion.
des_just_passing_through Last time I heard the same predicitions was in 1981: the Reds were coming, it was time to leave the country. Gstaad might be a good place to go: Johnny Halliday will be wanting rid of a "flat", I suspect...
And yet 1981 marked the beginning of the Golden Age in France. I doubt that this time around, it will be similar. D.
<fx: checks> Ah, it was 'Eiron' who crossposted. As it was 'Eiron' who provided my 'chez.com' address. So I've got a stalker on UKRM, as well as the two who want me murdered on AADP. <proud> D.
I'm sorry that my political analysis post went over the top of your head. I'll try to 'dumb down' my prose next time. HTH. D.
You have advertised your 'chez.com' site several thousand times on ukrm. I only mentioned it to point out your hypocrisy in complaining about Brunstrom's use of a photograph of a corpse when you have several photos of freshly killed people on your website.
