On The Subject Of France Politics 2010

George asks…

Has the UK got a ‘proud history of dissent’?

“Many thousands have protested in France against cuts; we have a proud history of dissent in Britain, so why aren’t we on the streets?”

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/oct/19/protest-against-cuts-french

Is it because of our tolerant nature & culture?

Statement by Michèle Alliot-Marie

The Security Council did not succeed in reaching an agreement this evening on the draft resolution. I regret it.

France is tirelessly pursuing any means that might revive the peace process based on the agreed-upon fundamentals.

As President Sarkozy has said, Israel’s security will only be truly guaranteed when an independent, democratic and viable Palestinian State exists alongside it. Such a peace will come about through the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of both States, a border negotiated on the basis of the 1967 lines, and exchanges of territory making it possible to build two viable States.

Siege of the Chamber of Deputies

PARIS, 6 FEBRUARY 1934

I am telephoning you from a besieged fortress. No one can leave the Chamber of Deputies. The whole district on the south side of the river adjoining the Chamber is cordoned off by police, and as I speak thousands of rioters are attempting to break through the barricade of police vans on the Pont de la Concorde and get into the Chamber.
