I am not a great lover of the French, however, every now and then they do things that only the French can do.
The latest is the deportations of Roma (people) that are part of a high-profile crackdown on illegal camps in the country. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said comments by an EU commissioner criticising Roma deportations from France were "outrageous".
EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding appeared to compare France's actions to persecutions in Nazi-occupied France.
Sarkosky replied: "The disgusting and shameful words that were used - World War II, the evocation of the Jews - was something that shocked us deeply," he added that they would continue to dismantle Roma camps.
In other words we are carrying on even though its wrong and can be compared to the the Nazi persecutions in World War Two.
