Bastille Day or, as the comic singers who take it seriously prefer to call it, the Fete de la Federation, is the embarrassing event that exposes the cultural, moral and constitutional bankruptcy of what was once the greatest civilisation in Europe.
When you are reduced to celebrating the murder by the canaille of Paris in 1789 of the French equivalent of the Chelsea Pensioners, you are inadvertently advertising the sinister origins of the dysfunctional state you are trying to prop up with a mythology as grotesque as it is pathetic. The Umpteenth French Republic is the one entity whose absorption by the European Union is not to be regretted.
Pompous parades will today celebrate the event that triggered the French Revolution, that is to say, the most appalling bloodbath anterior to the Russian Revolution. Seven prisoners were released from the Bastille – four counterfeiters, an accomplice to murder and two lunatics - whose return to the community was hardly beneficial. The attack on the prison, reserved for the well-off, was orchestrated by the Marquis de Sade and Camille Desmoulins on behalf of the Nine Sisters masonic lodge.

If sufficient attention is given, there is some hope of the thing being cancelled, or at least not being permitted in future.
Would it be an exaggeration to say that Archbishop Nichols is a son of the French Revolution?
A. Gerald Warner is great!
B. Abp. Nichols is not so great!
C. Being Pope is not so easy, especially when you have to make appointments trusting on the recommendations of others.
+Nichols wasn't the Pope's first choice. The Anglican convert Abbot refused because he felt incapable of dealing with the office, probably not to different from what happened in Linz, Austria.
