FRANCE : PROBLEMS MACRON HAS AVOIDED !


 When Macron "invited the Press" he explained the objectives which the Government under his guidance were persuing.  However, he deftly avoided key points of information of how France (and    its electors) would  finance the cost of his program !

In particular these comments concerned adjustments to the incomes and pension rights of lowly paid workers, together with more flexibility for employers concerning the 35 hour working week.

The Press has been quick to criticise this lack of information !

Also, this Blog has in the past criticised the system of "soft justice" which has been adopted in France to combat Crime, simply because Prisons are bursting at the seams with too many inmates !  Macron chose not to make any comments on this issue.

How much would it cost and how many years will it take to build modern prisons to enable judges to deter crime and the import and sale of Drugs ?  This problem has been growing for the last 20 years.

THE ISLAMIC STATE IS AT WAR, BUT AGAINST WHOM... ?


After all the Terrorist attacks in the EU member countries, but also in countries in other geographic areas, there seems to be no trace of a Coordinated Defence System to protect citizens from further attacks !

Every country has a Minister of Defence but has any one of them really done anything to prevent any future Terrorist Attacks in their country ?
 
Are the current attrocities by Terrorists worldwide, condoned by the Islamic State,  not already the start of the 3rd World War ?  
 
It is quite clear that all Muslims are not potential Terrorists !   BUT, this cannot justify the lack of action by Defence Ministers !
