Subject: NFR Paris riots

Has anyone else seen the news from France? There's been yet another outbreak of serious unrest, with large groups involved in violence, disorder, and attacks on public infrastructure. Obviously the scenes themselves are deeply concerning, but I do think the conversation needs to go a bit deeper than simple condemnation.

At some point France has to look inwards and ask what support systems may have been lacking here. What economic pressures, social inequalities, or barriers to opportunity contributed to people reaching this point? France also can't ignore the impact years of Far Right rhetoric may be having on people's sense of belonging and ability to integrate into wider society.

It's very easy to focus on the symptoms, the causes are a bit more uncomfortable.

Was it just the frustration of watching Arteta's team trying to run down the clock from 6th minute last night? It drives me mad too. "Game Management", the ex-player pundit on Radio 5 called it. Cheating is what I'd call it! (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Sunday, May 31, 02:50:54pm (NoHost/84.67.45.248)
- Never forget when Arteta chucked tio ball on so the game would be stopped. Ali Mc said, thats not a co-incindence. 23%, 1 shot on target! (NT) -- Al, Sunday, May 31, 03:14:30pm (cust-51.179.203.26.cgn.as5482.net/51.179.203.26)
- The most absurd thing was how up in arms and outraged they were when the ref blew for half time before tbey could take a corner. They’d spent the whole half taking 1-2 mins to get the ball back in play every single time; then when the ref actually does something about it apparently it’s outrageous. The Wilshire/keown/mccoist arsenal love in was nauseating, like watching Arsenal TV, absolutely delighted they lost, especially with arch cheat Gabriel missing.

Not Paris riots, but ignorant football hooligans (NT) -- Observer, Sunday, May 31, 08:38:15pm (NoHost/90.202.14.192)
I do not know too much about France but significant amount of monies going to ultra right groups in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Spain, UK and even Portugal. The source of all this funding has been traced to South America! (NT) -- John B, Monday, June 01, 12:32:22am (NoHost/185.128.9.154)
Paris is fill of dodgy Arabs and north Africans mass immigration has ruined the place .. (NT) -- Nigel, Monday, June 01, 05:13:55pm (cpc159866-nmal26-2-0-cust209.19-2.cable.virginm.net/86.17.85.210)
