The angry country

The problem is not about the EU as you rightly say but it is about socialist policy and employment law that suddenly becomes unaffordable and backtracking is extremely difficult. We have the same problems here, for example in the health service and many public sector institutions. Socialism is all very well until the money runs out and throwing money that you can ill afford to produce a short term fix is very dangerous. One of life`s lessons so quickly forgotten I am afraid. Corbyn was about to embark on another such spree.
As for Le Pen, she will have to be a very strong woman, rather like Thatcher, but the angry people have not yet seen the light, so more pain I am afraid.
Le Pen gets votes by promising the undeliverable. She will never have to deal with the problems though. She wants to almost win, but not quite.

Essential listening.

Is going to discuss why mainstream media is not reporting on the troubles in France.

Haven't you noticed that the UK media only reports on items from the US nowadays and constantly refers to the US as our closest partner (just check the amount of air-time that the death of that basket ball player has received). Very little other than the odd bit of negative press now comes from Europe. Having said that a Telegraph reporter was down from Paris yesterday, interviewing a few of us expats over the loss of voting rights etc.
