More than 240 people were arrested, two people stabbed, and others raped, as France's biggest open air music festival descended into intense violence. The 40-year-old man and woman, who have not been named, were attacked in the early hours of Monday at the Fête de la Musique – a nationwide 'street party' attended by thousands of British people. Police also reported two alleged rapes, multiple other sexual assaults, muggings, and girls being stabbed with syringes, on a night of anarchy. It was in the south west city of Toulouse that a male victim was knifed, close to midnight, while the woman was knifed in nearby Colomiers soon afterwards. On Monday, both were in hospital and described as being 'in a stable condition'. An investigating source said: 'Camera footage of the Fête de la Musique is being studied to try and find those using knives to stab people.' There were also attacks on the streets of Paris, as thugs started fights in the centre of the city.

June 21, 2026 at 8:34 am Foreign policy is not a business. It’s a Darwinian cage match. No nation keeps its promises one moment after that stops being to its advantage.

Generally, it would be to their advantage to say, yeah, yeah, we'll go ahead with an agreement, then drag their feet over minor negotiating points, maybe sign an agreement, then renege on it when it's convenient for them to do so...as the new dark age tightens its grip.
