Britain is living beyond its means

I was working from home and had the television on, showing a film in which Jean-Hugues Anglade plays the role of a cop. I heard a noise like firecrackers, and at the beginning thought it was part of the film. But the noise was loud, so I went to the window. I live on the second floor, and my apartment overlooks the emergency exits of the Bataclan. Sometimes we do see hurried evacuations, but this time everyone was running from all sides, I saw guys on the floor, and blood … I quickly understood that something serious was going on.
