Ranting to /dev/null

Not as easy as all that

French officials are saying that the violence is subsiding. I'm not entirely convinced this is the case. The measure they've been using is "number of cars torched" - which is pretty hilarious if you think about it. But it has one weakness: if there aren't any more cars, there could still be plenty of gangs roaming the streets who simply haven't found a convenient Peugeot.

There is now a ban on public meetings in Paris. Good times.
