Hurrah ! Sarkozy won !

And France might be saved.

Buggeration! I was rooting for Royal - As a socialist, she'd have kept France in a happy state of relative decline.

Still, not to worry. I'm sure after a few riots the result will be much the same with Sarkozy in charge.

[sasguru]

Hey Luce! thought you'd disappeared for good. Sarkozy won't make much of an impact, the French are too bolshie for that.

[TheOmegaMan]

Yes it is the end of socialism.

Soon we shall build large detention centers for our undesirables, and import cheap foreign labour to satisfy our consumerism. We will set people against people, in a frenzy of competition, where only those that conform survive and those that take prosper. The sick will be euthanised, the old will be discarded and the young will be correctly educated. Where once we failed, now we shall succeed, my children.

Socialism is an illusion and hasn't really existed since man went about in tribes of 10-15. Some 10,000 years ago.

HTH.

That's a common myth, it never existed then either.

This message is hidden because Lucy is on your ignore list.

We are all equal, but some are more equal than others.

A historic weekend as Socialism has been firmly rebutted in the UK and France - not to mention the ousting of Mr Sheridan of the Scottish Socialist Party .

Was it George Orwell whom described Socialism as a kind of 'Mastubatory Fantasy' ?

I didn't know anyone had.

(It's not the first thing that comes to my mind! )
