What are the chances of Hollande becoming a casualty in the aftermath of all this? The french intelligence services have, after all, utterly failed to detect and stop a large and partly known group which obviously has logisitical support in europe. His promises after Hebdo and the train attempt have left him with his neck out.

A few weeks ago they caught a courier trying to smuggle in explosives so knew that something was imminent. Reports are that some of the eight terrorists were from the same 2 neighbourhoods as previous attackers.
 
People don't carry passports, they carry identity cards. It's the law that you must carry them at all times, once you're an adult. You don't need a passport to travel within Schengen countries - an ID card is enough

If you are a foreigner and don't have an ID card, you carry your passport.
 
"Islamist fundamentalism must be annihilated, France must ban Islamist organizations, close radical mosques and expel foreigners who preach hatred in our country as well as illegal migrants who have nothing to do here," she [Le Pen] said.

I also do not understand how the terrorists managed to get Kalashnikovs into the concert. Do they not search people? I've been searched at every concert I've ever been to.

Sorry if this has already been covered in the thread but I haven't had time to read it all.
 
Thick twats. They should have played it cool and integrated with the vigil, spoke to people. No chuck firecrackers around :facepalm:


According to your logic, the silent vigil which chased away the fascists in Lille must be fascist or rascist themselves because "After they had gone, the crowd broke its silence, singing the French national anthem La Marseilleise".

I guess AK47s are a ticket to most places.

I'm going to leave this, I think, but yes, this highlights the absurd simplicity of equating all expressions of French nationalism or patriotism as racist. These things are far from that simple, particularly in a country that still defines itself as the product of a popular revolution.

I think I read they shot up a cafe outside first, which implies maybe they stormed the place, rather than coming in as punters.
