French resort to demo riots
Bob Craske ( Letters, November issue ) paints a dystopian picture of Britain and refers to “political vandalism and viciousness” and “a violent and polarised country”.

That can hardly be said of France and the gilets jaunes phenomenon.
In the same issue, Nabila Ramdani referred to the riots in Paris and the millions of pounds of destruction caused, which she rightly described as a “disaster”.
Pot and kettle Mr Craske?
