I respect the French a lot. On one hand they are pretty laid back....See the ESF ski instructors sipping booze at lunch time. Can you imagine Britain allowing that?! No we'd have a quango and a committee to debate the HSE of it all and then ban the idea.
On the other hand, if the french want something, they just do it and don't give two hoots about what anyone else thinks. If the French had Mohammed Atta, he'd be on the first plane to Jordan, but instead I am sure he is on extra benefits paid for by HMG and I expect he'll sue them at some point over "human rights" and be given a huge pay out.
Viva la Fance!
