"The French" do not "always riot". The recent riots were by a small area of young yobbo thugs who thought it wrong that car thieves should be chased by police. 'SDD' demonstrates a level of ignorance that shows that most people in this country are under educated, the truth of history is that the French have always paid a higher price than Britain in the same wars. When the British Army ran away to Dunkirk, they lost a total of 25,000 killed, wounded and captured, out of a total of 250,000. This was the highest mechanised army in the world, it had no horses slowing it down, like the French and German armies. Yet, if you believe the history, while fighting a "withdrawal in contact" it lost only 10% of its force. Not possible. The French on the other hand, lost over 2,500,000, that is 2 and a half million, killed, wounded and captured. They lost more than the British lost in the whole war, just in giving up to the Vermin Nazi pigs.
As to why the, so-called, English don't riot? Look at our media coverage of the important items in the news, and see exactly how much information we are given in this country about anything at all. Remember the miners and steel-workers lost their jobs, and we lost the industries, because of lies in the media. Selfishness by the rest of the country, by not showing support, destroyed them just as much as the Thatcher Nazi government did.

Maybe because the French still have unions that protect those workers that wish to take a day or so to make their grievances known, but those in the UK would lose their jobs and be even worse off for trying to protest against the Stalinist Government.
I would also say the French have been shown that their government act on these things, where as in the UK the government will do its own thing (even if the public are in mass disagreement) and actively deny the public its voice.

We Brits are too soft for our own good, the French have the right idea, and although there is not a lot of love lost between us, i do admire the way they stand up for what they believe to be right. Here we say nothing and just moan about things and get on with being taken advantage of, not just by all the immigrants, but our government too, unfortunately i don't see things changing for the better, so guess we just have to look after number one, and stuff everyone else. This i find very sad, but i know i cant rely on our government.

Do we? There were riots that ended the Poll Tax and nearly brought down government. Anti-war march was over 1,000,000 (largets ever), not to mention Cuntryside alliace and fuel protestors who brought the country to a standstill.
Just becuase people don't protest with what you agree with, doesn't mean it won;t happen for something else.
EDIT: Ah, so you are just really wonderig why there isn;t a huge racist march? Chances are becuase most people aren;t racist. Some have concerns with immigration, but that is OK. Maybe you should join the BNP and jump up and down with a handful of other like-minded people while the vast majority of us simply do not agree with you.

They have not been mentally conditioned over the years by the media, lefties and politicians thats why. The English are conditioned from a young age that they are worthless and that they are always wrong and they should feel guilty for their ancestors actions. That is why the British more so the English just sit back and accept it. If they did take action they would be more concerned about what people would think of them rather than the action they were taking.
I used to laugh at the French, but now I laugh at the English and admire the French for having the Bulldog spirit we once had.

Maybe its because France has a history of direct protest working. Just have to listen to the the Les Marseilles, not French and it gets me singing along for goodness sake why you ask. Because it says fell the furrows with the blood of tyrants.

because as much as the british like to think they are patriotic and they run this fantastic country, they would rather sit back, watch somebody else run the country for them and if somebody makes a bad decission, they will scream and shout and complain till they are blue in the face, but do nothing about it. Where as the french react to it, as do lots of other people, because they are more passionate about their country and the state of it and how it runs

France has such high unemployment. their people have nothing else to do anyway.
Actually the French government always caves in to the picketers/rioters. So the masses of rioters know it works. It's kind of like a kid throwing a fit cuz they know they're parents will succumb to their will. It's very stupid

The Brits save their energy for defending their country. Since the French never do, they can afford to blow off the steam.

its time for the British to stop making remarks about the French. they clearely have more Balls than the modern British. i think these days, if there were an invasion, it would be the french having to save the **** of the cowardly British. not the other way around.
