British sailors trapped by French port blockade
25th May 2008
French police have so far made no attempt to quell the protest, according to the trapped sailors.
And that’s the key to the whole situation. How would French police react if, say, the British people trapped started fighting back? Jail time galore, I suspect.
The first function of government is to keep the peace. When the peace is not kept, then there is no government, no matter how many fools parade around in uniforms.
