Ah the French; The Eiffel Tower, Napolean Bonaparte, the Arc de Triomphe, baugettes, Citron: The French really do add a touch of class to everything they get involved; art, monuments, leaders, great food, cars and now it seems; rioting. Yes gone are the days of wee Micky and wee Jimmy kicking the Shi-ite (as in Muslim) out of each other in Portadown. Now the French have got involved. For over 500 years rioting has been the official game of Ireland with teams joining the International Rioting Association with its base in West Belfast from accross the World including of course the British Army however this standing is under threat. As one French reporter remarked today "throwing rocks and le petrol de bombs are oot; chucking baguettes and snails arrrr in".
The French really do have a certain 'june say wat?' about this whole thing. They just do the whole throwing pavement slabs with a touch of style and sophistication.
