Post title borrowed from someone on Bluesky, cos frankly it was a vast improvement on what I’d come up with. Anyway, Marine Le Pen just got whacked by a French court along with a bunch of other National Rally members for embezzling millions of euros from the European Parliament; she’s now facing up to four years in jail (though apparently two of those years are a suspended sentence and the BBC say she may just have to wear an electronic tag for the other two) and, more importantly, been banned with immediate effect from running for public office for five years. I can’t say that this situation bothers me. I just wish her cunt of a father had lived just a little bit longer to see his daughter fail this much. I mean, he would’ve enjoyed this downfall, probably, and I don’t like that he would’ve got pleasure out of it, but it would’ve reflected badly on him too for having raised such a faildaughter…
