At my homepage www.rolf-martens.com I've added today, under
"News with brief comments", the below NWBC 122.

[Note, 2006-03-13 14:53 GMT: That homepage I could not access
today, and asked my hosts why. They replied that they had
been targeted by a DDOS attack against 2% of their clients'
homepages and were continuing to research this.]


Monday, 13 March 2006 (NWBC 122) The (very) Independent, UK:
"Rioting France riots"

2006-03-13, 12:41 GMT:

As everybody already knew of course: Those Frenchies always
were a pretty 'orrible lot. What with that no-good rioting way
back in 1789. And again in 1830, 1848, 1871 and even in 1968.
The UK newspaper, of course completely independent of the
ruling class of imperialist exploiters and oppressors in the
world, at least finds some consolation (it hopes), in that its
colleague the prime minister in France "stands firm" - its
headline today more precisely is:

"Villepin stands firm on jobs law after rioting France riots"

[http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article350940.ece]

What it doesn't like is:

"In his toughest test since taking office last June, M de
Villepin has faced *demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of
students and workers*, a socialist opposition invigorated by a
rare sense of common purpose, and rumbling resentment within
the ruling Union for a Popular Movement about his style of
government" [boldface added here], and "...*more protests
planned* for this week".

And even worse:

"Under the contract, which was approved by parliament last
week and should come into effect next month, youngsters are
taken on for an initial two years during which period they can
be fired without explanation. Opponents say it is cut-price
labour 'a (grave) la Anglo-Saxon.'"

An accusation, "*cut-price labour � la Anglo-Saxon*"! That
means saying that it's precisely the Anglo-Saxon sections of
the international imperialist bourgeoisie, the US and also we
the UK imperialists, who are the very worst in cutting the
workers' wages. "'Orrible, 'orrible, most 'orrible!" to us
"Independents" of course, that anybody would say such a thing.

The very least we can do in the way of counterattack is to
point out how those Frenchmen always were some rioting
troublemakers, by birth or something, who absolutely should
not be supported in this and whose example of course nobody in
any other country should follow.
