FRENCH RIOT

ABOUT ALMOST

ANYTHING

French voters rioted in the streets today in protest at a series of riots in Paris.

Jean-Claude Wambammaman of the radical pressure group Action Imprecis said: "We are rioting not in protest at the rioters, who after all have a legitimate complaint, but against the forces of the state for not taking the first group of rioters more seriously.

"If OUR riots do not have the desired effect, then we plan to call a national strike to bring us to our own knees.

"If that doesn't work, we will force the government to allow everyone in the country to stay at college until they are 45, and then let them retire at 50 on an index linked state pension."
