Hopefully this doesn't infringe the forum rules but I've decided to set myself up as an online bookmaker.
Latest odds:
Pierre, who wears a cloth hat and can often be seen walking around his village with a sting of onions around his neck: 100 to 1.
An secret employee of Marie le Pen, more a task master really, given the job of kicking things off nicely ahead of the election: 25 to 1.
A Muslim: 80 to 1 on.
Roll up, roll up.

Isis have claimed responsibility according to Face Ache..suppose they are out to prove even armed police do not deter...it's very sad that there is no respect for human life in a war that will never end

France's 'assimilation' policy seems to be working just as badly as Britain's alternative notion; that of multicultural bliss.
It seems the current solution is to play big on the "we're stronger than you, we'll carry on as usual". This is admirable. However, this means that people have to accept that at some stage there will be further attacks. Whilst the security services do a good job in limiting the number of attacks they accept that they can't stop them all. It's difficult to see how the actions of the Western world in the Middle East are appeasing the jihadists, making them think twice, rather than picking up their knives or guns, or driving their cars or trucks.
The root cause of course is that mixing people doesn't work. It might, if the host country didn't behave as if the British Empire were still all conquering but sadly, that's not the case.

The sad truth is man's inhumanity to man.
It has always happened, and it will always happen.
The 'cause' is the only element that changes.
Race, colour, religion and politics are a side show.
Agree with Patty, it's very sad.

What time is the lighting of candles and the sing-song to 'show solidarity' ?

Free publicity. We need to learn to concentrate on what has really happened, a very sick individual has killed, nothing else needs to be reported. By giving people labels we enable organisations to get their limelight and also encourages people to blame all members of a group whether they are good people or not.

The press in this country have a lot to answer for including the stirring up of hatred towards immigrants through to creating a constant level of fear and worry amongst some people about being killed in a terror attack.

Let me correct that for you Martin. You cannot possibly claim that ALL the press are stirring hatred and increasing the notional threat level. Roger

Yet... some people were killed. It's becoming something of a routine.
