The history books are littered with rich kid revolutionaries dripping with hypocrisy.

You can add French leftist influencer Lola-Fleur Whittaker to their ranks and she is now the hateful face of the riots ravaging France.

Whittaker emerged on Monday on a TV program called La Grande Confrontation defending the rioters. She snarked in an argument over who was responsible for the riots: “Your little shops, that’s real cute.”

In reality, a rich kid hypocrite

Whittaker was mocking the small store owners who have watched their lives and businesses obliterated by the “student” uprising.

Bakery chain owner Jhemima Sheilha told the program her businesses had been destroyed and looted.

Sheilha told the snobby student: “It’s my life, Lola. We’ve had to see our businesses smashed. What justifies terrorizing people’s lives?”

But the wokester — who studies at the prestigious Sciences Po Paris — is not a taking it to the streets kind of revolutionary. No sooner had she appeared when media revealed she was a rich-kid hypocrite.

Whittaker tried to get ahead of the narrative by painting herself as a poverty-stricken victim. Why, her poor mother eats cookies for lunch because she can’t afford cafeteria food.

‘Revolutionary’s’ secret jet-set lifestyle

But wait. Woke Whittaker’s social media profile was discovered, revealing a jet-setting lifestyle featuring sojourns to exotic locations around the world, proving her bourgeois bona fides.

She frequently shares snapshots of her luxe vacations in exotic locations, including Sicily, Greece, Malaysia, Egypt and Oman. The whiny hypocrite once ran for the French far-left political party, France Unbowed.

And like many a good leftist, she reached into the colonial greatest hits package to suggest the current unrest was tied to the Algerian war. That ended in 1962.

Meanwhile, cops have named “student” and ultra-left militant, Hodei Ciarra Docampo, 34, as a leader in the riots and the man suspected of torching an historic 143-year-old spire during the “apocalyptic” French riots.

Docampo had already been on a terrorist watch list as a crusader in the omni cause. French special forces arrested him and he faces 20 years in the slammer for the arson attack.

Suspect big on the omnicause

Flames engulfed the listed Limoges town hall during Saturday’s rampant disorder, causing the building’s clock tower to collapse.

“They arrested him just after dawn,” a prosecution source told The UK Sun. “He has a record for attacking police, and for belonging to ultra-Left extremist groups, and was on a watchlist for these reasons.”

Docampo’s background is Basque and he has family in France and northern Spain. He has been linked to radical environmentalists but has apparently been consumed by the omnicause.

He is the “principal suspect” for starting the fire, according to prosecutors. But one said it’s unlikely the low-rent revolutionary acted alone.

France has been ravaged by “student” riots with more than 500,000 taking to the streets last weekend protesting, well, just about everything. Around 2400 were arrested for a variety of offences, and some 149 of them have since been convicted and sentenced to prison for violence or property damage, following fast-track trials.

The Interior Ministry has now imposed curfews in parts of major cities, including Paris and Marseille, in a bid to halt the unrest. France has refused to rule out implementing an official state of emergency if the chaos continues, but said curfews seemed adequate for the time being.
