Criminals

The French prime minister François Fillon said that the youngsters who have been running amok near Paris on Sunday and Monday night are criminals. I do not often agree with the authorities, but that is the right word. No political correctness here.

Some websites were already writing about the third Paris intifada. But Tuesday night appears to have been calmer, mainly because of an important deployment of police.

And I see no reason to call the forty or so youngsters, who have been terrorizing the tenants of two social appartment blocks in St Gillis, Brussels, by any other name. That behaviour is common in many bigger towns and cities, but is systematically under reported or ingnored. Political correctness, you know.

I'm as politically correct as can be, but thugs are thugs. And the little vandals in the Netherlands are vandals. No protesters.
