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
