Hmm. Dan Hodges, getting himself into another spin trying to keep up with what Dacre wants his client journalists this week, seems to be forgetting what he wrote about Gray just a year ago.
It seems the French favour plod over thieves. "An online fundraiser set up by independent right-wing populist Jean Messiha for the police officer who killed Mr Merzouk has already topped €1m, far more than €180,000 raised for a separate fund to support the teenager." Which is as it should be, but it does belie the squeals from some that the French get up and act and the Brits don't. It's akin to signing an on-line petition rather than getting physically involved. The exceptions seem to be the groups of football fans that took to the streets in several Cities to tackle it head on, much as happened in Britain. Ironically, the squealing anti-Brits normally deride and label such people as far right. Oh what a tangled web we weave...
