Sir, – Only time will tell whether the electoral success of Marine Le Pen will open a "frightening new chapter" in French history ("Le Pen has her day", Editorial, December 8th).
What we do know is that France is living through a frightening chapter right now, as a result of failed integration policies by successive left-wing and right-wing governments, coupled with a growing internal and external resentment on the part of many Muslims who view the constant interference in the Middle East by former colonial powers as another sign of oppression. Can the policies of Marine Le Pen be any worse? – Yours, etc,
