Politics in Lille

Fair warning: this is where I go slightly off-piste. Every now and then something in British or French politics gets under my skin, and rather than shout at the radio I write about it here. Expect strong opinions, questionable manifestos and the occasional intergalactic candidate. None of it will help you find a good estaminet. All of it is written with a pint in one hand and tongue firmly in cheek. Skip it if you came for the waffles.
