In case anybody is wondering, I am OK, stranded at my work (not entirely happy to be in the tallest building in London right now though).

I am not kidding. I think 2007 may be the year. London, North, Scotland, Ireland/Guiness(perhaps)... Unless something happens this seems to be the plan.

I'll believe it when I see it. If I am still breathing by that time, of course.

Sandro, of course we all say one thing: it could have never happened in England. The point is, none of us can quite believe the sad inability of police and government to contain the situation. There'll always be riots for some cause or other, it's government job to contain it. At the time of the infamous Brixton riots in London (long time ago), the situation was very difficult but it was contained and did not spread to the rest of the country. Also, French society is extremely segregated, which is a major problem. Say, we do have Pakistani areas, black areas, etc. in London, but none of them can be described as no-go areas, and there anyway there could be people of different races living there.
It's shocking that there seem to be no solution so far. If it did happen in England, several things would have been done: there would be a lot more police involved at the onset of situation and they would have imposed the curfew almost immediately; and, if the situation did get out of hand, the army would have been brought it a lot sooner. Let's not forget the root of the problem: immigrants in France find it much harder to integrate, than in other coutnries, England for instance, they cannot get jobs, don't have access to education (it's a common knowledge about admission process in French universities, despite European laws), therefore they end up marginalised. Not an excuse for lout behaviour though. My two cents.

Инцидент произошел в городе Сангла-Хилл, в 130 км к северо-востоку от Лахора - крупнейшего города этой части страны. Помимо церквей, мусульмане подожгли школу, студенческое общежитие и дом местного священника.
