Back in Paris and the first new is...

... expulsion of Roma from France :
Sarkozy is currently falling in popularity.
"130 Roma have been flown back to Romania. It is expected that a further 850
more people will be expelled from France. Many in France are still very sensitive
to the stigmatization of the Jewish population during WW2 and subsequent
brutalization of ethnic groups".
(AllVoices/BMcPherson)

"French priest Père Arthur Hervet, a Roma defender, has
returned his Medal of Merit, saying he was going to "pray" for
a "heart attack" to strike Nicolas Sarkozy and stop the "war"
against the Roma community, before regretting those words".

Graffiti Street in Paris/Belleville...

If you need a wall, (so you can escape)...
try this one in the Belleville Paris district.

















This colorful corner of Belleville has obviously been identified and chosen for the
filming of 'Belleville Story' as well as other very peculiar spots in the neighborhood,
like this popular 'bazar' where everything is sold at 1 €...
