Frontal assault

摘要

When Laurent Brice was nine years old and the French elected a Socialist president in 1981, the family threw a party and celebrations spilled into the street. In this old mining town, the political left was the natural family home. Laurent's grand father was a miner, his father a metalwork er. Today, Mr Brice's politics mirror a broad er shift in old industrial France: as the National Front's departmental secretary, he is the party's new, clean-shaven face.
