The French are revolting

Is it just me or does there seem to be one common factor in these Riots in france?:confused:

Yep, immigrants living up to their hype! If the buggers were kicked out, or not even allowed in in the first place, then the problems wouldn't exist!

Imagine if Enoch was a Frenchman and said what he did in Lyon!
 
Maybe if they washed now and again, maybe used a bit of deodorant and brushed their teeth they might be a bit less revolting.

Ha, says the Englishman :)

The banlieues in France are famous for being areas of high concentrations of ethnic minorities, in which the minorities are no longer such. France's governance over much of North Africa led to a large amount of immigration, most who never really integrated into the society.
Some banlieues, like some areas in the UK, are no-go for the police. There are very high tensions between the people living in these areas and the authorities, which is, to put it in an oversimplified manner, why this has happened. They don't trust the police, and are blaming them for what happened to the two cretins who were doing silly speeds on a moto with no helmets, much like what happened in 2005 all over again. It could be a deep mistrust of authority, it could just be a way of radical expression in an environment where they don't feel at all part of mainstream society. What will be interesting is the way Sarko handles this. He has the "take no ****" attitude, and this is the first time this has happened under his rule, so the next few days/weeks will be interesting.
