No I said traditionally they were more working class then Thommm said are working class people unenlightened and I actually said I don't know but a lot of them voted for Trump and Brexit.
Draw your own conclusions meant exactly that - I'm not going to because I know sweet Fanny Adams about the French working class!
I very much agree that both working class Trump supporters and Brexit supporters were sold a pup by people who manipulated them into voting for their cause/leader because they were promised change/hope/something better than their current situation.

You said French cycling fans are more working class and from small towns.
That these people are more likely to vote Trump and Brexit and to 'draw your own conclusions'. You're implying they're more likely to be racist, no?
To compare French working class people-or French media-to either the UK or America's right wing rabies-fest is already abusing reality but to ignore the context in which working class people are encouraged to be racist by the supposedly more liberal types that work in the media is also pretty self-serving.
