		<description><![CDATA[France is the word&#8217;s most popular tourist destination. 80 million people visit annually; 25 million more than the second-ranking USA, 15 million more than France&#8217;s own population &#8211; who holiday in millions in their own country rather than go abroad, or have chosen to settle in France rather than in their country of origin. So&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much has been written these last few days on Claude Lévi-Strauss. Le Monde devoted four pages to the Grandfather of Anthropology, who has died aged 100. In an odd irony &#8211; after reams of praise for his insights into ethnographic diversity and the rich taxonomy of humankind &#8211; an unrelated article in the same paper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Minorities get blamed for everything. They even get blamed for being themselves; for preferring their own culture. The criticism itself is made by those &#8211; claiming various degrees of indigenous status &#8211; who prefer their own culture, as perceived to have prevailed before the latter minorities threatened it. A third group has yet another preference, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An FT article on Islam in France argues that a demographic &#8220;Eurabia&#8221; outcome is unlikely. I agree. However, the article is very optimistic about the piety of the average French Muslim, as well as the societal impact of multi-faith &#8220;mélange&#8221; (mix). On the first point, it seems to think that the 15 to 20 percent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dutch society was once very segregated. Guess, until when, the following was the case: &#8230; each of the four &#8220;pillars&#8221; had its own mini-society within the greather whole of Dutch society. Protestant people voted for a Protestant party, read Protestant newspapers, watched the Protestant broadcasts &#8230; Mixed marriages were frowned upon, and Catholic bishops and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cost of liberal democracy/capitalism is that there are economic losers. &#8220;Old&#8221; Labour was about tackling class, i.e. the injustice of grossly unequal income distributions. Even if Socialism&#8217;s not your thing, there&#8217;s still no reason why capitalism can&#8217;t be forced to accept corrective or attenuating measures such as social safety nets, meaningful regulation, exponentially progressive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An anti-racist stance has to be consistent, otherwise it&#8217;s just&#8230; more racism. When I went on Anti-Nazi League marches with my schoolmates, the hope (as I understood it in my hormonally left-wing state) was for a colour-blind world of equal treatment and opportunity. All racial differentiation was bad. That was before Diversity(TM). Now, race &#8211; [...]]]></description>

Mohamed Ali, Arafat, ML King, Sitting Bull&#8230; though the accompanying chants were only about contemporary objects of love/hate. Love: Hamas. Hate: Sarkozy. Strangely, Obama wasn&#8217;t mentioned. On a nearby wall was this (unrelated) sticker: I do not dispute the [...]]]></description>

Here is the Algerian national anthem being sung during a demonstration at the end of my street in Paris. It contains lines [...]]]></description>
