On February 24 he went to the Gare du Nord in his wheelchair with someone accompanying him. Three SNCF agents came to help him but he was too late for his train and was refused access. Exploding with anger, Guerlain said, "La France est un pays de merde, c'est une boîte de merde et en plus on n'est servi que par des immigrés." [France is a shit country, it's a pile of shit, and nowadays you are never served by anyone but immigrants."] The person with Guerlain told him to be silent, stop talking nonsense in front of everyone, the first trial wasn't even over. The agents, who were black and Asian, told their superior and filed an official complaint, now being considered by the Paris public prosecutor.<br />

The problem is with the second sentence " I don't know if the nègres always worked that hard, but anyway... ".

There is a small hamlet near us called 'Les negres' - I wonder how long it will stand before a compulsory name change?</p>
