In yesterday’s Children’s debate in the House of Commons, Nigel Farage treated us to this revealing little outburst: ”What we need, and are calling for, is a rifle-shot inquiry that looks specifically at the question: to what extent were gangs of Pakistani men raping young white girls?” Whipping up hate Nothing could more clearly illustrate […]
Obituary: Jean-Marie Le Pen (1928-2025), a thug and a fraudster
In a lifetime of political thuggery, fraud and nepotism, Jean-Marie Le Pen (who has died aged 96) typified fascist politics.
