    Better just change that temporary Facebook flag profile picture to a permanent French one.

    Can we not just hit Article 50 and declare war on France for their own safety?

    Eiffel Tower is supposedly "just" a fireworks-accident and unrelated. Good timing.

    I see.

    The French are dealing with years and years of failed domestic policy here. There's a seething tension in that country, and they're never going to fix it.

    The "terror is what the terrorists want" line needs to go in the bin. The attacks won't stop if everyone's scared.

    Not by shooting random people. We tried that here, and it didn't work very well did it.

    I don't mean kill them but get them as far from having any freedom to do this as possible, especially any that there is one shred of doubt about. There's no point in waiting for something like this to confirm theories.

    So you take away their driving licences and make them all get public transport? That'll work.

    Presumably you also need to watch them all, at all times, to make sure they don't borrow a car from a mate, rent a car using false documents or, indeed, hijack a a car at any point.

    No, you lock them up and send any you can back to the rats nest they came from.

    I don't specifically mean stop them driving into people.

    Many are 'home grown', and have a seething discontent as a result of France's failed decolonisation and integrationist policies.

    Do you suggest repatriation based on ancestry?

    I did that for the Paris one. I'll admit it's morbidly addicting.

    Daily Mail is going nuts over it. Saying that gunmen are searching for hotels to shoot people. But I think they've just quoted some random comment. Nutbags.

    It was their own citizens dong most of the bombing back in those days, not ours.
    Then again, being Irish in Britain was being treated like how you lot did/do to blacks so banning may have been better.

    If this had happened in Texas . . .

    . . . at least one colossal lard ass would have stopped the truck.

    This distressed toff on Sky fretting about how she was going to get back to St Tropez as her intended route was being blocked by many dead bodies is quite funny in a massively inappropriate sort of way.

    You could easily see a future French government chucking Muslims out of the country. Maybe not all of them, and if not directly then certainly making life so intolerable for them that they piss off to Saudi Arabia or Leicester (although they could just blow themselves up in that case); but if it comes down to state of emergency Republique Francaise vs sucking minority cock then there is only one winner.

    You could, but you're just fumbling at the bolt on the stable door. The seething discontent is a direct result of dreadful decolonisation policies (clinging on desperately in Indochina and then Algeria before de Gaulle had the good sense to call it a day) and a complete failure to integrate immigrants properly. There are parts of major cities like Paris or Marseille which are genuine no-go areas. You're not fixing that, at this stage. It is what it is.

    All that banning Muslim immigration would do is massively radicalize the very sizeable Muslim population that already exists in France. Mass deportations seem like a non-starter on logistical or ethical grounds (not to mention the response of the 'global community'). I genuinely don't see a solution to the problem other than fixing up the domestic situation in a positive way, and kicking the shit out of ISIS in the Middle East as much as possible.

    I agree they fucked up hard. I've been to some areas in Paris that unbelievably awful, and genuinely look like some Neo-Nazi satirical scene of the effects of mass immigration on European cities. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself.

    That is exactly how I'd describe these terrorists. What demographic do Muslims want to wipe out exactly?

    And yes.

    Provided you had somewhere to put them, you could deport a few million people relatively easily. Think about the obvious precedent.

    I don't understand 'banning Muslim immigration' as a concept.

    Do you ban everyone who has ever said they are a Muslim? How do you prove someone is or isn't a Muslim? Is everyone from a predominantly Muslim country automatically Muslim? What if they LIE?

    It's just so farcically unworkable.
