Congratulations to the people of France in their election. They haven’t turned their backs on the world in a time of globalisation. Indeed the world has been changed, by shipping, planes and now technology which is making it a smaller place. The EU prevents the us versus them mentality of the nations state which has caused many wars.

Shame about the English and BREXIT… Soon enough when we start to live on other planets the world will be regarded as one place and not nations. La Pen would have been a backward step. Given ISIS today it’s a good thing to take care of all human beings, especially those trying to survive by fleeing their homeland. Quite a thing to choose to leave your home for survival.
