Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?

No.

if I'd known any Tories the flavor of said conversations might have been different

I dare not mention the title as the story is not yet published but I think everyone here will be thrilled to know that I got a story featured 1: a community of grasping, lazy welfare bums taking advantage of their betters thanks to a soft-headed reformer and 2: an oppressed ethnic minority who turn out to be reflexively violent back-stabbers if not kept aggressively oppressed by their betters.

Interestingly, it was a fantasy novel and not SF.
