Paris is rapidly descending into a state of lawlessness, many areas of French capital are now essentially no-go-zones too dangerous for deliveries, postal workers and even the armed French police.
The situation has become so dire on the Parisian Metro that French train drivers are refusing the stop at certain stations as they are simply far too dangerous for passengers to alight.
The drivers sight gangs of migrants, drug dealers and abusers and thieves lying in wait to mug their passengers.
Some stations are now camping ground for migrants from the Middle East and Africa. An app was released last year for Parisians and those visiting the city to identify these so-called no-go-zones
The situation in Paris is now tragically common across the cities of Western Europe. Authorities seem unable or unwilling to tackle the crisis, possibly due to political pressure to stifle any bad news about the migrant crisis.
