The attacks on journalists and others at Charlie Hebdo have quite rightly attracted a great deal of attention. But Charlie Hebdo can be outrageously provocative. See below this ‘Merry Christmas’ greeting which Charlie Hebdo published in its last edition of 2014.
It says:
Shit in the creches
Finish off the handicapped
Shoot all military personnel
Strangle the priests
Make mincemeat of the cops
Burn down the banks.
I say no more! John Menadue
