Emmanuel Macron’s France is UGLY. His record is catastrophic. Never has the country gone through such a deep social crisis. Never have the uber-rich who control the country accumulated such wealth, never have social inequality and injustice been so glaring. Never have the rule of law and civil liberties been so threatened, the right to demonstrate so trampled. Never has the country known such violence. Never has the toll inflicted on the population by the so-called “forces or order” been so heavy in terms of demonstrators injured, maimed and mutilated, or even blinded for life. Never have the corrupt been so cosseted by the President, like the current Speaker of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, and his predecessor, François de Rugy. (Ferrand is alleged to have helped his partner, Sandrine Doucen, to acquire a property with the knowledge that his company, a Brittany-based insurance called Mutuelles de Bretagne, intended to rent as office space. She is reported to have made a large sum from the deal. His predecessor, De Rugy, had to resign after it was proven that he used his lavish government-owned palace to host friends to luxury dinners, featuring mountains of lobster and gallons of vintage wines, while spending public money to refurbish his already sumptuous apartment within the palace.
Meanwhile retirement and other social benefits are being cut, public services are being axed, train ticket prices are out of sight, nothing is being done about climate change . . . and those who protest get mercilessly clubbed and tear-gassed or get their eyes gouged out by high-powered guns firing “rubber bullets” the size of tennis balls.
Why is there a conspiracy of silence in the world press to sweep under the carpets the ugly facts about Emmanuel Macron’s “liberal,” “progressive” democracy ?
Could it be because the mega-banks and mega-companies of this world (Macron was a top executive of the Rothschild group) have decided that democracy doesn’t work for them anymore ? Is this why the U.S., the U.K., and France are inching closer to becoming authoritarian régimes ?

Goodbye Britain, land of Churchill, individual liberty, the Industrial Revolution and the abolition of slavery; au revoir France, home of de Gaulle, meritocracy, rationalism and 365 kinds of cheese.Two glorious countries, divided by a common history.
Bonjour instead to the dystopian nightmare of Frangleterre, a couple of failed states for the price of one, both locked into an economic, cultural and social doom spiral.
Having diverged in the 1980s and 1990s, France and Britain are converging again, despite Brexit, copying each other’s worst pathologies, from high tax to wokery, from fiscal incontinence to bad food: the only question is which implodes first.
Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are doing their best to win that race with their idiotic, destructive and nihilistic policies, but it will go down to the wire. Both nations are drastically diminished, their armed forces cut back to the bone, their geopolitical retreat accelerating (in Britain’s case with the Chagos fiasco, in France’s with its expulsion from Africa), their economies barely growing, their industries hollowed out, their welfare states horrendously expensive.
The state visit has proved to be a pathetic jamboree, a tragic spectacle where the feeblest of hosts (Starmer) has encouraged the most pompous of guests (Macron) to cosplay great power politics, to lecture us on Brexit, on the case for anti-Americanism, on our failings over immigration and even on recognising a state of Palestine. Even Macron’s inevitable philosophy lesson was a mangling of intellectual history, conflating the Scottish and French enlightenments, what Hayek called real and false individualism.
The French President was right that Britain must do a lot more to tackle the demand-side factors attracting illegal immigration to the UK, but he was also guilty of staggering hypocrisy. Why doesn’t France deport all of its illegal migrants? Why allow them to live in illicit tent cities? Why implicitly share in the lie, for the purposes of asylum, that France isn’t a “safe” state?
Macron would rather illegal migrants didn’t gather in Calais, but he doesn’t care enough to do anything meaningful about it (the puncturing of a migrant boat last week was a publicity-friendly one off). The one in, one out plan will most likely fail; the pilot will be too small to change the calculus of immigrants or people smugglers. The British side is too naive, too desperate not to have to think about quitting the ECHR: Britain could fix the migrant crisis alone, but it finds it easier to beg the French for help. The grovelling is disgusting, and must stop.
Starmer, along with the rest of the British Left, has suffered from a misplaced France envy since the days of Francois Mitterand. The Labour party (and the Blob more generally) cannot see a French tax or public project it doesn’t want to copy, and is blind to the destructive side-effects on jobs, social mobility and growth. Starmer’s labour market regulations are a typical product of this blinkered francophilia, as is the Left’s dalliance with wealth taxes. These were a disaster in France, but this won’t stop Labour.
Macron played our useless negotiators beautifully after Brexit and during Covid, threatening and bullying us. Instead of fighting back, which is what a proper self-respecting country would have done, we kept turning the other cheek, and now Starmer is surrendering on all fronts, handing over fisheries and cash. The forthcoming “youth” mobility sell-out will be especially toxic: it will become a source of mass immigration by stealth.
The Franco-British convergence will see both sides adopt the worst ideas and attitudes of the other. Take strikes: resident doctors are demanding a 29 per cent pay rise, less than a year after they were handed 22 per cent. Consider law and order: our court system is so overwhelmed that Labour might suspend trials by jury, a typically British safeguard.
Or take education: Macron has destroyed France’s state schools, whose rankings are plummeting on the Pisa scores; not to be undone, Starmer is crucifying our private schools, academies and free schools. Macron is copying Britain with respect to the demographic collapse: there are more people alive and living in France today who were born in 1946 than children born in 2024. The new Franco-British approach to net zero, tax, spend and the economy is proving equally toxic. Car production collapsed 71 per cent in France between 1999 and 2024; Britain has suffered a 54 per cent slump.
Macron has racked up massive deficits and an unsustainable debt. Starmer is on the case: the OBR has warned that “the scale and array of risks to the UK fiscal outlook remains daunting”. The UK’s debt has risen by 24 per cent of GDP over the past 15 years and by 60 per cent over the past 20. The UK is now saddled with the sixth-highest debt, fifth-highest deficit, and third-highest borrowing costs among 36 advanced economies; once a paragon of virtue, we are now in France’s league of horrors.
For years now, France has struggled with the integration of immigrants, the rise of Islamism and the scourge of anti-Semitism. Despite our own, massive problems, Britain used to have a better record, but we are now going the way of France. The share of immigrants in the population of England and Wales has hit 16.8 per cent, against 10.3 per cent in France.
There are things we could, but won’t, learn from France. Its infrastructure isn’t what it was – the French are scathing about the TGV – but it remains immensely better. The UK has built 65 miles of new motorways since 2014, and 422 miles since 1990. During that later period, the French added 3,057 miles.
The Gallic healthcare system has deteriorated, but remains superior to the NHS. There were just 132,000 new housing starts in the UK last year; the French are angry because their own housebuilding has collapsed to just below 300,000. The French have 7 million more homes than we have: millions of families enjoy second homes that are rationed in Britain.
The decline and fall of the UK and France, two wonderful countries whose fate is inextricably linked, is one of the tragedies of our times. I am a citizen of both Britain and France, so I feel the pain especially deeply. For the sake of all of us who care, let us hope it isn’t already too late....Allister Heath, The Daily Telegraph
