Les Enfants Terrible

Politically of course France is stuck in a time warp.Every day is Groundhog Day. It's 1968,the students are still revolting. A State locked in permanent puerile juvenescence.

The EU -an essentially French construct is the cocoon within which this juvenile psychodrama is acted out with no consequences to the players who cavort and hurl rocks and stones and molotov cocktails at police and showcase their arrested mental and moral development for news stations around the world. 'Oh look its the French again indulging in their national pastime' we say almost affectionatley (rather as you would say' oh look Morris Dancing,how quaint...')

How could a nation that produced Ravel and Debusssy,Hugo,Voltaire,Proust,etc exhibit such moral delinquency,such political backwardness,corruption and imbecility?They never had their Thatcher I guess.
