Well we have tried to lead the way some time back but they knew best. Ditch Schengen and control your countries borders. Perhaps Europe might take note now instead of slagging us off because we could see the dangers ahead.
The South of France was the southern gateway to Europe by all sorts of immigrants through France's open border policy.

It's early yet; however, you have to keep in mind that not all muslums are bad: Some are worse.

[anneasquith]

Stuey. Your post surprises me a bit.

[Quizproquo]

Stuey I rally dislike the all Muslims are bad attitude. Yes, this act is depraved and appalling and yes, of all religions, Islam is the big pain the the arris right now but it's simply not fair to be so broadly bigoted.
One of the nicest people I ever met is a Muslim. He's a dedicated family man. Loves his wife and kids and would do anything for you. You wouldn't even need to ask if he saw you were in need. That man has left a lifetime imprint on me for his kindness.
So I reject this broad brush of Muslim horror that you continually paint.

Its a sad fact in today's 'civilised' world. You takes your choice. If it's not the famines that are the architects of the world's grief and woe it's the Fakirs!! :-(

Appears the latest death toll is at least 73 and towards the hundreds injured.

[Mamyalynne]

Horrendous.

[ChillDoubt]

Truly gutted. It gets worse each passing minute.

Vive la France.

[Lie-in King]

Dreadful, appalling news.

[vetuste_ennemi]

I'm watching the news. Nobody has yet mentioned Islam.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Apologies, I wasn't paying attention. Quizproquo has made an obvious point about decent individuals.

Q: Nazism was an evil ideology. Not all Germans were Nazis.

v.e.
Then you won't be surprised if the driver is named as 'arry Bloggs from Tooting, Saarf London who was hacked off cos French Douanes confiscated his lorry load of booze cruise baccy. Not the normal m.o. for a smuggler to carry guns and grenades in his cab though.
Still. I am prepared to take a surprise on the chin if I'm proved wrong.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Lived just sarf of Tooting (Bernard Weatherell's constituency when I voted against the Tories for Heath and "common market" reasons) as a young man with first wife, Retro.
I know both Marsdens well. May I offer you my best wishes.

[vetuste_ennemi]

An observer rather than a patient.

[ChillDoubt]

Latest death toll is 77. Dreadful.

So easy to forget the decent individuals isn't it. These 4 ,I believe, are also described as such and decent family men as well.

For the one decent family man that has left a imprint of kindness I can produce 4 who murdered 52 innocent people.
If three more decent family men can be produced to match the four I am sure I could just trawl the internet and produce 3 more,30 more,300 more decent family men/boys who are murdering jihadis. The beatles led by Jihadi John spring to mind.

every decent family man

Quizproquo, I don't have to paint a broad brush of Muslim horror: They are masters of the art form and continue to create horrendous masterpieces.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh wow. If all, or even just the majority of Muslims are evil, with three million of them in the UK we surely must all be slaughtered by now. Is it just ex-pats from Muslim free countries who post here ?

This French incident is tragic. No doubt made more likely by the foolish open borders practice that gives all the security of the leakiest country's border. But it is the action of the immoral minority not the decent majority. We ought not push a religion based 'Project Fear' to rival the recent political one. It makes for a worse world, full of suspicions and mistrust.

[david small]

The intent is clear and openly stated, we convert or die. The minority hide behind the majority. The majority in most cases do not openly expose and identify the guilty minority. They can and do strike anywhere at anytime.

The Driver / Gunman shot dead " Good " these evil people should not live to tell the tale, once caught, firing squad, end of.
