Paris and the region are home to millions of immigrants of Maghrebian origine. Because of sheer numbers (of voters) successive governments try to woo them and make concession aftre concession. Breaking iftar in Mosques with Muslims, no pork in state schools, exams scheduled around Ramadhan and Aïds, state funds for Arabic lessons in schools (which is not a bad thing for me), free public transport and free housing and medical care for illegals and so on. All this benefits big construction, gas and electricity corporations as there is an increasing number of consumers and keeps inflation and wages down.

Yes, Salah Abdeslam is provided with a personal gym while I have never been able to afford one. He also has internet access and chats to women. Corsponds with a French woman who is in love with him and there is a Hungarian girl who admires him and wants to marry him. All this so he does not get bored and depressed. He doesn't want to talk to the judge and this is his right to remain silent. Said in his letter to his French girlfriend something like he has no regrets and is proud of what was done. His upkeep in prison costs the taxpayer a 6 figure sum every single month.

There are thousands like him. Sid Ahmed Ghlam who killed an innocent .French woman was housed and given a grant despite falcifiyng his end of year results and never going to lectures and had the means to go around his native Algeria, Syria, Turkey and other exotic locations many French working people can not afford. He also had a French girlfriend!!!

Most of the criminals who lured and horrifically tortured Ilan Halimi for a month by dozing him in strong acid and bleach, cutting his face and making him drink bleach are now out of prison. Ilan is dead.The woman who lured him managed to have a relationship with the prison director who let her go out of the prison quite often during her long 6month stay that depressed her for life and they all had gyms, mobile phones and I don't know what, France's criminal justice is a joke. France is a joke.

When I was interviewed for French citizenship 14 years ago the interviewer was very surprised I spoke French. So surprised she called a colleague in to hear me speaking. They were both very surprised I could write it! Said it was quite unusual for foreign women. This was in notorious Saint Denis subburb. Just remembering the faces I saw there gave me nightmares for a month. Most of the men waiting with me were dressed in European clothes but with beards and shaved mustaches. Those waiting for residency visas only often wore jellabas, thobes, sandals and some had kaffiyas secured on the head but spoke North African dialects.

The FN has more and more supporters but will not win on the second vote, as the left, right and center will ALL unite against them. I like the FN stance on security and border controls bit their economic reforms could turn into a desaster. But it's good to know they exist.
