Please tell me Sir, how do you know this? Is it from the media? If so, who is your reliable non-biased source? Have you traveled and spoken with Britons and the French?
The media, if that is your source will not cover those who support the government (unless of course those in power are Democrats). The BBC is quite good at playing it straight down the middle. They take a historical look at the events which are happening.
Being immersed in the culture gives a welcome reprise to the media onslaught. THEY (the Britons and the French) COULD CARE LESS ABOUT POLITICS! What they really don't like is the VAT (Value Added Tax) and the London Congestion Charge (5 pounds which is roughly $10 a day to drive into downtown London) and if you don’t pay it each day, they send you a ticket in the mail for between 40 pounds and 125 pounds ($80 - $250)
So Sir, before you go around making random pronouncements, immerse yourself in their culture. Explore and learn. That is of course what FIRST is all about!
