Bravo, Messr. Zemmour!
It is certainly fair play to use the site of a massacre to remind the people of the massacre. Well done!
Question for UnHerd commentators: why is Messr. Zemmour referred to as “far right,” and Madame Le Pen referred to as “hard Right?” What does this even mean? Doesn’t seem like a useful distinction to me.
And as a Seppo (new word for me, Cockney rhyming slang), may I suggest that it is sometimes better to have a vulgarian with mostly excellent policies (i.e. Trump), than someone less vulgar, more adhering to accepting norms–including horrific policies (I.e. Biden, though the myth that Biden is normal is just that, a myth. Biden is a demented doddering dotard who is quite vulgar)? Or for a European example, the seemingly normal but deeply evil “Wir Schaffen das!” Angela Merkel?
Finally, why do you include the quote below? Seems to me you’re suggesting that–Hey, it’s ok, to take in some terrorists in the Wir Schaffen das a la Francais, but we should take heart that “almost all of the terrorists who carried out the attack were French or Belgian citizens.” Is that your point? Am I supposed to feel better? “Yet almost all the terrorists who carried out the attack were French or Belgian citizens. Only the presumed operational leader, the Belgian Abdelhamid Abaaoud, killed several days after the murders, is thought to have re-entered Europe as part of the flood of people displaced by Syrian civil war.”

“Seppi” isn’t Cockney. It’s Australian, rhyming slang derived from “septic tank” (which would not be something that many Cockneys would know about).
My education grows! Someone called me that the other day and others said it was Cockney. I’ll have to check that reference again. Cheers, mate!
French politics is never dull!
D-Day was a colonial invasion? I wonder how he argues that one.
Yeah, that seemed a bridge too far, mate, but no one is perfect….
Perhaps that is why so many people in France joined the Resistance after the allies removed the Germans .
