Now watch civilisation collapse from France outwards.

I think you've been reading too much Paul Joseph Watson. France will muddle on as all Western nations do. How many terrorist attacks have there been in France over the last few years and what real effect has it had on French civilisation? Zero. People go about their lives as we do here and the Germans and Belgians and Australians also do. If the French had felt that strongly that their civilisation was at threat then Le Pen would have won comfortably. The result tells you all you need to know about the imminent threat of collapse.

Votes for le Penn came from the north and the south, I wonder why?. Clueless French for voting him in, nothing will change for them.

You say the lesser of two evils, which may be true, but in saying that you still underestimate the vast gulf between the two and just how bad a Le Pen victory would be.

Did you follow this and previous French elections? You should have had zero concerns that Le Pen was going to win. The left and centre part of the electorate (2/3) always vote against Le Pen in the final vote.

True with the last bit. They will continue to import from Germany and the other successful parts of the EU, whilst religiously protecting their shorter working hours, huge holiday and sick leave entitlements, giving their decline and one in ten unemployed.

Although I like PJW I rarely watch him. When you are talking collapsing civilisations ts more likely to be Stefan Molyneux. Or maybe you shold read the rise and fall of the roman empire for clues.

You see I dont see a far rhgt gov being elected, thats not how it works. Let me give you an example. I think I would have to be insane to vote for the BNP. I also think that I would be reasonable to take up arms to defend my friends and family from enemies both domestic and foriegn. Does that make sense?

Now I may be wrong and extreme but I would reach that form of reasoning way before I was ready to vote fash. Where abouts are we in this grey area? I dont know, remember IRA and UDA came to the for well before their political representatives.

I would say parts of Europe are already in this grey area, its just a matter of time and triggers.

Obvious what the result was going to be. A French expert was saying the other day that give it 5 years and the French might regret the outcome. We shall see.

Don't think any if the candidates can change their huge problems. Millions unemployed, uncompetitive goods and services, and they didn't integrate immigrants into society.

They also said the Dutch would go inwards too. Nope, just England

Yeap much to Farage's disappointment the rot has stopped In Europe, German election next, don't expect any surprises there.

We're looking more and more like billy no mates in Europe, but we have got Trump he likes us doesn't he? Just as long as we had over the NHS to US Corporation, agree to import hormone beef etc, etc

Whether or not she had any chance of winning your assertion that the lesser of two evils prevailed doesn't do justice to one of those evils.

You can't believe in experts especially over 5 years in a global economy. I should know I'm an expert B.A., PGCE.
