I just love these current French riots; everyone's a winner in my book!
First you get to see a load of dull-mided, selfish, self-interested students (75% of whos' ambition it is to become a civil servant
) and the ranks of the "I'm alright Jacque" trade unionists get tear-gassed and their heads heads kicked in by the French CRS riot police . Secondly, you see the CRS having sticks and stones thrown at them which is good thing, obviously. And last but not least, you get to see the lilly-livered politicians eating humble pie and backing down in a craven and cowardly manner. You can't beat a bit of schadenfreud can you?
