A phony war?
Posted Nov 9, 2005
A rathermore serious journal entry from me for once...
It's a strange feeling - I think I now know how the inhabitants of England felt in October of 1939... Supposedly there's a war going on but it doesn't seem to have changed anything...
In the last few days I've been living in a city where over 400 vehicles have been burnt out... several attempts have been made to set alight to junior schools, buses have been attacked and set alight and last night someone threw a molotov cocktail in an underground station... all this within a couple of miles of where I live and work.
So, how is this effecting me practically? The odd answer is that it isn't, not in the slightest... The only reason I know there's a problem is that I'm reading about it in the local paper (oh, and I'm walking to work instead of taking the bus).
The people I work with are in the same boat as me... All this could be happening on the other side of the planet as far as our lives are concerned. I hope this doesn't sound as if we don't care what's happening around us, but the simple fact is, we're not experiencing any serious problems.
There seems to be a double layer of civilisation in France at the moment... The depressed areas are a battleground whilst the rest of the city gets on with life as normal. Last night I left work at 9:30 pm and walked home, I had no qualms about it, no fear of what might happen, the only sign something wasn't quite right was the number of people walking down the road at that time of the night... most of them complaining about the lack of buses rather than the breakdown of civilisation as we know it.
Where will this all end up? I really don't know.
Will France as I know it cease to exist? If the lack of effect this is having on the France I inhabit is anything to go by, I really doubt it.
How will this all end? In the ten years I've lived here I've always said that politically and socially France is 20 years behind the UK... Toxteth & Brixton in 1985 - Paris, Toulouse and Lyon - 2005... We'll see, but I suspect that looking at the state of the UK today gives you a fairly good idea of where we'll be heading.

Whisky's journal - Anyone out there like to tell me what the heck's going on?
Posted Nov 3, 2005
I come back from a long weekend away up on top of the Alps to find the site littered with the toys people seem to be throwing out of their prams?
What the heck did I miss?
