Looks like the Mohammedans have stolen everything worth stealing, so the trouble makers we see now are Das Proletariat, the unwashed rabble, the ‘racaille’, as Sarkozy used to call them.

Revolutionary aspirations aside, the use of the protests to boost the electoral prospects of the hard left also continued on Thursday. Top-polling presidential candidate of the hard-left LFI faction Jean-Luc Mélenchon made a personal appearance at the Paris march on Thursday, his arrival characterised as being “flanked by his lieutenants” as he was “greeted with great fanfare by a crowd of supporters chanting his name”.
It was stated that moments before his appearance, a majority of Communist lawmakers in France — a separate political party even to the left of the socialist politician — had declared their allegiance to Mélenchon, saying they would back him rather than the leader of their own party in next year’s presidential elections.
More protests are slated to follow. On Saturday, marches have been called in France and across Paris, and later this month on the weekend of the 20th, 21st, and 22nd, pan-European French-style protests have been announced. Representatives from leftist groups from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Greece met in Paris to discuss plans and agreed on coordination and demands, which are said to include funding for welfare, pro-migration policies, ending military equipment spending, taxing the wealthy, and environmental demands.
