Violence in France is spreading
by Jack GrantLast night, there were many cars burned in or near Grenoble (the town where I live). While the violence in Paris was interpreted as reducing slightly, using as a measurement the number of cars burned, the number of locations experiencing the unrest is spreading.
While I doubt this will turn into a true insurrection because it will never have the support of the wider population, it is not helping the public perception of the apparent complete ineffectiveness of government of France, which has been remarkably ineffective in the past decade regardless of which party has been in power.
I hope to post more on this later today.
