“Far-right French leader Marine Le Pen refuses court-ordered mental health test after tweeting pictures of Isis executions
“'I'd like to see how the judge would try and force me do it', says former presidential candidate”
"Marine Le Pen refuses court-ordered mental health test"
This court order is beneath contempt.
It does not matter what you think of Ms. Le Pen.
The court's behavior is straight out of George Orwell or Arthur Koestler.
This is completely unacceptable in a society which styles itself as free.
I can only admire Marine Le Pen's pluck in responding to this state effort at degrading and embarrassing her.
I wonder what role the smarmy Macron had in this?
The French establishment is quite tight-knit. A word to a couple of judges over coffee?
It does seem that since the United States began its new campaign to dominate the planet, we are getting countless stupidities all over the West. It resembles travelling down a highway where there is a constant stream of litter being tossed from the windows of cars.
Prime Minister May's totally baseless accusations in every direction.
The Prime Minister of Israel’s butting into British politics, making unfounded charges.
An idiotic former call-girl in Salisbury saying Putin is trying to poison her with rat poison.
A Canadian, a member of goofy stunt-performing outfit, Pussy Riot, claims to have been poisoned.
The President of the United States goes to the Security Council about something for which none of us has been given a lucid explanation or convincing facts, the Scripal Affair.
The lunatic United States is now ready to apply sanctions to China for having the temerity to buy some Russian planes and missiles!
Meanwhile, Israel conducts a regular sniper slaughter of unarmed civilians, and we hear not a word of outrage.
"Whom the gods would destroy…."
