Brussels pundits seem to agree that parties from just about every country and across the political spectrum have done something very similar, Le Pen is the only one dumb enough to have her own fingerprints on it.

Scum don't know that the french were never an apartheid state ... although we are going there. :(

30 mins in and I don’t think the French have put it past the 10, just constant pick and go’s and offloads - they are very good at it but a surprisingly limited game plan They're such an intriguing case. Utterly dominant at U18 and U20, but almost getting worse at the senior level or at least not le...

With it being produced outside of France, I think they have to call it sparkling white racism.
I would bet a terrible wig that Trump has a winery making sparkling wine somewhere in the US.

He has a swill making property somewhere.

One of Ukraine’s two SAMP/T surface-to-air missile batteries has shot down a Russian warplane [unspecified Sukhoi fighter] for the first time. That’s obvious good news for Ukraine, which could rely more on the Franco-Italian air defense system—Europe’s answer to the American Patriot. But the news b...

I read that French officials are looking at ways this incident and lack of action can be appealed.
Nah, that was Galthie trying to shag us up for the last game.

France only need to win the game against Scotland (you need to score 100000000 points to catch up on point difference).
