Exactly. They weren't even filming, he was just 'goofing around'. No need to point it at someone and pull the trigger. If someone handed me a grenade and told me it wasn't live, I wouldn't pull the pin out and throw it into a crowded room. If I did, and it turned out it was live and blew up 10 people, would I be innocent? There were previous safety incidents on set that led to people resigning. He was one of the producers (although the judge has already decided this is not relevant for some bizarre reason), he pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger without reason and without checking. He's guilty as the day is long. But this is the same US justice legal system that found OJ not guilty so anything could happen in their corrupt courts.

Enlighten me about how great this is all going to be for France.

In which case I'd say you know nothing about French politics. Expect a period of huge turmoil following these results. In the unlikely event you'd like to learn more, you can watch this decent summary of what's to come.

Like most lefty expats you appear to have limited knowledge of French politics. And throwing the word Nazi around does nothing to make you look more educated. If you think the extreme left doing well in these elections is a good thing, maybe take a look at Melenchon's stance on Russia and the EU for starters. Or maybe you like anti EU, Putin sympathizers? He is an anti-semite though, so at least it's not all bad for the leftists. This election puts French politics in a complete mess. The support for Le Pen has been growing for years now and tactical voting against her will only work for so long. The sheer numbers that voted for her party is astounding. It's only a matter of time until she gets power. Until then, expect a complete mess.

Polls suggest othewise. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/07/trump-presidency-viewed-more-favorably-poll-finds/74292329007/

I notice how you left out the part about burning Israel and Intifada. Perhaps if Palestine didn't want "atrocities" then Hamas shouldn't have launched the terrorist attack against Israel on October 7th. Or perhaps "British" MP's should focus more on British issues affecting British people instead of conflicts in the middle east?

Yes well Lammy famously declared that Brexiteers are worse than Nazis so it would be no surprise if he starts simping to the EU. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/04/15/message-david-lammy-disagreeing-brexit-does-not-allow-compare/ As for him being 'smart enough', there are many examples to show his lack of intellect. I wouldn't call someone who thinks Henry VII succeeded Henry VIII, a great mind. 😄 https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/david-lammy-gets-it-wrong-again/

The striking lack of intelligence both display.

No surprise. Lefty anti-semites don't change their spots.

The similarities are simply too striking to ignore. 😃

So your takeaway from the quote below was the word "especially", at which point you link to a Buddhist born in Harrow? 😄 Right-O.

Diversity is a Western liberal obsession. More intelligent cultures do not have such an obsession, nor should they.

Let me help you a little bit. Buddhists don't tend to pursue the Islamic cause. It's a Muslim thing.

That's the trouble with left wing governments. They don't give a toss about their own citizens.

The left essentially conspired by tactically withdrawing candidates. If they think this is a long term strategy to win the hearts and minds of French patriots I suspect they are in for a massive shock.

Braverman does not pursue the Islamic cause. She is Buddhist.

I suppose you think the children blown to pieces at the Ariana Grande concert are wimps?

I guess you missed the word Sociopath in the title.

I 100% disagree with you. It is undemocratic to call for another vote before the result of the first one is implemented, simply because you do not like the result. People like you think it's Ok in some circumstances (when you lose) but not OK in other circumstances (when you win). It's deeply hypocritical. But then you are left wing, so I guess it's par for the course.

The fact check is quite clear and concise. You should read it. One does not have to be deranged to realize Biden was telling lies and half truths. As Trump does. So looking at it logically, who is deranged here? The person who accepts they both lie? Or the one who claims one tells the truth and the other lies (when the facts show otherwise)?

Where have I denied it? I haven't, you're making it up. 😃 Where have I denied the right to change their minds after the result of the first referendum was implemented? I haven't. You're making it up.

Providing balance.

Well, it proves my point that they called for a second referendum before the first was implemented. So it has literally everything to do with it.😄 It shouldn't. If a party can get elected on a promise to hold a Rejoin referendum then I would accept that. How did you reach that conclusion? I accept the Labour win 100%. Just as I accepted the Leave vote. How does that suggest an "allergy to Democracy". It's quite the opposite given my disdain for Labour. If I was demanding another election before Labour were allowed to take power you would have a point. But I am not. Therefore, you do not have a point.

Seems like a trend in US politics. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/07/factchecking-bidens-post-debate-tv-interview/

Indeed. The "Democrats" have gone the wrong way up a one way street.
