   This would never be in UK right?   
      
   Six out of 10 People in France ‘Don’t Feel Safe Anywhere’   
      
   Fearing terror attacks, the majority of people in France are   
   pessimistic about the nation’s security situation, with six in 10   
   saying they no longer feel safe anywhere according to an IFOP-FIDUCIAL   
   poll. The survey found that 93 per cent of French believe the threat of   
   more terror attacks is high, and 71 per cent feel the security   
   situation in France has got worse over the last five years.   
      
   More broadly, 59 per cent of those polled said they did not feel safe   
   anywhere, with almost one in four (24 per cent) opting to “strongly agree”   
   with the statement.   
      
   Reflecting the insecurity respondents said they felt, 69 per cent think the   
   police and gendarmerie are understaffed, and the survey found the French   
   overwhelmingly have a positive view of law enforcement.   
      
   The vast majority of respondents (88 per cent) believe France should deport   
   foreigners sentenced to prison for serious offences, and 84 per cent want the   
   country to create more prison places.   
      
   A slight majority (55 per cent) would like to see France exit the European   
   Union’s open borders Schengen zone.   
      
   With security a major issue in this year’s presidential elections, the   
   survey found Marine Le Pen was judged the candidate with the best policies in   
   both keeping property and people safe (32 per cent) and in the fight against   
   terror (35 per cent).   
      
   Some way behind the Front National candidate were Emmanuel Macron (21 per cent   
   citing security of goods and people, 19 per cent fighting terrorism) and   
   Francois Fillon (19 per cent backed the centre-right candidate’s policy   
   solutions in the two areas).   
      
   A national state of emergency has been in force in France since Paris suffered   
   one of the worst terror attacks in recent European history in November 2015,   
   when 130 were killed in a series of bombings and shootings across the city.   
      
   And in June the following year, a Tunisian migrant deliberately drove a   
   19-tonne cargo truck into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des   
   Anglais in Nice, in an attack which resulted in the deaths of 86 people.   
      
   However, terrorism isn’t France’s only worry, as last month saw weeks of   
   violent riots spread through Paris suburbs, with cars torched, windows   
   smashed, and shops looted.
