Yesterday the Culture Minister, Frederick Mitterand, (nephew of the Socialist President) ordered that Siu Lan Ko’s censored artwork be reinstated. The affair had grown to international proportions and the only way to put an end to it was to denounce the misguided little man who had started it all. I wouldn’t give much for his future.
Today is Sunday a day of rest, or at least it was until Sarko changed the law to allow supermarkets to open on Sundays. There were absolute assurances that no one would be forced to work but we have since discovered that the alternative is to be sacked and the supers won’t employ any one who won’t give a written assurance that they would love to work on Sundays.
So, day of rest, no rant today. (Although there is plenty to rant about.)
Instead, a rather strange picture inspired by decay and regeneration. Rather like the state education system in France, except that we are still in the “decay” stage desperately hoping that regeneration will follow.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit gave an impromptu speech about the inefficacy
and impotence of Europe in international affairs. Well worth watching if you speak French. Find it on utube.
