Also a lot, and I mean a lot, of adolescents are just left by their parents or in many cases parent, to fend for themselves. They don't go to school or college, live in the periphery of drug dealers and other racketeers. The parents are only interested in the generous and constant handouts. This kid had no driver's licence,wasn't old enough, no justifiable revenue and how he was driving a hired car is for the instant, unknown. But he had previous, perhaps he came across the same cop twice in a week, doing the same exact thing. Many young people here do not identify in any way with the traditional french culture, see themselves as victims in a foreign land although they've been here all their lives. Plenty find their way in the world though but the hard core is just a lost generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farawaysaint Posted 3 July, 2023 Share Posted 3 July, 2023 France is wonderfully confusing, fantastic healthcare, pensions and benefits on the state and still revolt every 2 months. Let me be clear I'm a big fan of their social initiatives it's more a curious onlooker effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically it's not free but if you can't pay you get treatment all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah therein lies the rub, the folks who actually pay for them......not so much. I think I've explained this before, on a monthly salary that costs the employer, say 6000 euros (and that's a good whack here) the employee gets about 3000, before tax.

Sadly it could describe quite a few places in the UK although culture clash aspect is far less noticeable here.
