Re: Hey guys (none / 0)
Leaving aside the excess of the beginning of Welshman's diary, his reading of current French events is that, though he loves France for its elan and flair (he might have said panache), France is refusing to face up to challenges that other countries have to face up to (he gives the example of pensions and social security reform). And:

The protests in France are once again about protectionism for a particular section of society.

This is little different from the story as it is told in the international media.

What's so good about it?
