It’s behind a paywall for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that calling the rioters “vermin” isn’t exactly going to calm the situation.
- Police nationale: Why are they upset, what did I say?
- “savage hordes of vermin”
- Echoes of The Spanish Inquisition... not a good sign.
- I find it hard to disagree when it appears to be teenagers burning and looting for the thrill of it.
