The rioting continued last night in France, and has now spread across the entire country, despite Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's "plea for calm." You think?! The rioting has gone on for twelve days now.
Thr French press is painting the disturbances as one of its gravest post-war crises. Every major city faced the threat of fierce rioting that has spun out of control. At least a thousand more cars were burned last night.
Philippe Douste Blazy, the foreign minister, reminds us that France is "not a dangerous country", however, the Foreign Office in London warned travellers that trouble could erupt "almost anywhere".
