The places in France that are in the throes of the Revolution are fifteen miles from Civilisation As We Know It, so I'm absolutely fine and actually, this is excellent for business - have been rent-a-quote for the Beeb (News 24 and the World Service); Australian Broadcasting, mate; and am getting up in a couple of hours to wrote a thinkpiece for Die Welt.

That being said - we have the same problems as New York in the 70s and LA in the 90sd and the solutions should be the same, except we Frogs have a special way of playing ostrich long after we ought to pull a finger out.
