Paris Mayor 'Stunned' By Snap French Election Weeks Before Olympics

[naomi24]

The French have always been a volatile bunch so the reaction to whatever the result the elections bring is uncertain.  Has Macron been too hasty in calling what could prove to be a very ill-timed election?

How will the election affect the Olympics?

[naomi24]

Have you ever seen the French in action when they don't like something?  I don't think I've ever been to Paris without encountering a protest against something or the other.

pity they weren't so angry about being invaded by the Twists.

So riots on the cards. Silly bastilles.

Haha, "The far right" mentioned time and time again on this BBC piece.

The peasants are revolting and the Metropolitan elites in the MSM are not happy.

Good times :-)

And to answer your question Naomi, did Macron really have a choice?

 

[naomi24]

I don't know, YMB.  The mayor of Paris seems to think so.

 

TTT, I was born and bred in the East End but I've never heard a real cockney come out with the silly rhyming slang you use - in fact they use very little rhyming slang at all.  It's all a bit of a fallacy.    Do you make it up to suit?
