The celebrations of diversity in France are getting pretty raucous these days.
“Diversity is our strength? French city of Nice now features emergency buttons in churches after Islamic terror attacks,” by Denes Albert, ReMix News, December 21, 2022:
Europe has dramatically changed over the years, with Christmas markets now featuring security barriers and governments using terrorism threats to justify a massive expansion of surveillance powers. Now, Europeans can add emergency buttons in churches to the list of changes that the threat of Islamic terrorism and other increasing security concerns have introduced to the continent.
After the terrorist attack committed by a boat migrant hit Nice, which targeted the Notre-Dame basilica on Oct. 29, 2020, the municipality reinforced security in places of worship and, during a meeting in 2021, offered churches and other places of worship the emergency devices.

During an interview with BFM TV on Oct. 28, the rector of the Notre-Dame basilica admitted that he had used this button since its installation. Contacted by Nice-Matin, Father Franklin Parmentier cites the example of a young man who entered the basilica in July 2021 with “aggressive” and “very suspicious” behavior. The police were notified by means of an emergency call button installed after the 2020 attack, and officers arrested the individual.
“It has shown its usefulness and it works,” Father Parmentier says. “What is reassuring is the rapid and effective intervention of the police services.”…
However, it is not just churches that have installed the emergency call boxes. Nice features 1,400 of these emergency call boxes now, including in hospitals, schools, places of culture, cinemas, and local associations. The emergency system, which was launched in 2015, has recorded 1,700 incidents since the beginning of 2022, said Anthony Borré, first deputy mayor for security….
Borré said that those in charge of places of worship are increasingly requesting the emergency devices.
“If we had proposed this 10 years ago, it would have been refused immediately.” The tool has also been adopted by the Jewish community in schools and some synagogues.

‘Churches, synagogues, schools installing emergency call buttons after Islamic jihad attacks’.
After so much vandalism and desecration of churches, attacks on and murders of priests and at least one utterly obscene public beheading of a teacher in a Paris street – not to mention all the other outrages – why has it taken them so long to come up with this? Have they really taken it on board now that a particularly nasty virulent social virus has infiltrated itself into their population (I don’t think we’d say ‘society’, since this particular demographic pollution could never aspire to the traditional values of the French people)? Perhaps now they’ll all wake up and realise that there’s no future for France in the particular kind of illusory ‘rainbow society’ towards which they gullibly thought they were heading and accept that there’s now an urgent need for the permanent quarantine of a ‘certain element’ if not outright ‘decontamination’. Viewed from ‘the other side of the channel’ it’s a shame that so few here in the UK seem to be waking up – but maybe that’s not surprising since we all know that the UK Establishment sold itself and everyone else out years ago, and not even its Capital City is ‘British’ anymore. ‘Vive la France’ – we hope!

I cannot understand why the people in power sit and watch the destruction of their country. Before this stupid policy of diversity, Europe was a nice, relatively peaceful place to live. This was a policy driven by Merkel, now I don’t know if this was supposed to be an experiment or her hidden agenda to erase Europe. She, still to this day, believes it was a correct decision, although the majority disagree. The situation will never be stopped and will only get worse, how bad does it have to get before people rise up and take their country back? Maybe they are happy with being wiped out by a barbaric cult.

So long France, so long Germany, so long Britain,where I was born in Scotland 1948, so long Italy, so long Netherlands, so long Belgium, I have loved you all at one time or another and now I watch from far far away from Europe that you are all committing personal genocide and the destruction of our beautiful European Heritage and Culture.
Sometimes I cry when I read such news.
Though Im glad I havent lived there since the early 1980s.

I’m a Welshman and I still live in the UK. It saddens me to watch this country being destroyed the way it is, it’s just heartbreaking. I’m fortunate that I live in the countryside and I don’t get to see many muslims, but our cities are infested with them.
You’d never recognise the place if you came back now, and as you say it’s not just here in the UK it’s all of Western Europe.

I’m the same, live in Cornwall little village but I still have my eyes open to the world. I can’t bury my head in the sand after serving my country.
