#1 "In the global economy we give the impression of being a Gaulois village, but unlike those in AstÃ©rix, it doesn't make us laugh and it will raise even less of a smile among our children and grandchildren in 20 years' time," he said.

On the contrary, the Maghrebians (the only ones who'll have children and grandchildren) will be dancing with joy upon the grave of La France.

#2 Sounds like he has a solid handle on the problems of not only France, but western Europe. There are some very painful, but nessisary changes needed to their economies and cultures. Kinda like surgery. It hurts, takes a while to get healthy, but is better for you in the log run and can keep you from dying.

#3 Levy? Why that's a damn suspicious name, could be named after Levy County Florida which was named after David Yulee Levy (a known jooooooo!)

#4 Lots of Jews converted to Christianity in the old days, Shipman. The patronym is not a clear indicator. Think of the composer Mendelsohn, whose father had all the children baptized so they'd be able to make careers outside the ghetto. Or for that matter, somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of my mother's cousins in Germany before the war, who'd been Christian for a couple of generations. Although to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone carrying a Jewish surname would experience at least some prejudice in Europe, regardless of his personal beliefs. And no doubt that could colour his thinking. ;-)
