Teamedup Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 He was on Hardtalk on the BBC last night. And he said more truths about France than any tv program that has been on british tv over the last x number of years. I suppose that is why he frightens me so, he does hit the spot........... his solutions are a cauchemar. May the good people of France knock him into touch at the next presidentielles.This program is worth a watch and likely will be repeated on BBC New24.

Mistral Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I've just watched the interview on the BBC webiste. The MRAP are going to take him to court (again) for repeating his comments about gas chambers. The good thing with the programmes was that they actually let him talk, when he's on french telly it's so short and he's interrupted the whole time that he doesn't get into his stride. He always starts off sounding so reasonable, if you give him enough time, his basic incoherancy comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single most effective thing that can be done to counter creatures like Le Pen is to ensure that they get free platform to spout away. Aside from fulfilling a basic democratic need that freedom of speech is a right, it also allows plenty of time to get across the repugnace of some of his basic premises. Add a little careful, polite, questioning (for example, "Mr Le Pen: to the nearest 15 minutes, how long after your elevation to President do you think that the French economy will sink into fathomless depression?" or; "I notice that the proposal of not allowing women to work while men are unemployed no longer seems to appear on your party's website - could you confirm that this is no longer policy?") to light the touch paper, and stand well back. He should do everything else himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zeb100ddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 HelloI don't think women should work. Their place is in the home looking after their families. If more women took the responsibility of looking after their children then there may be a drop in crime and a better standard of family life.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Why is he so against Muslim fundimentalists? He seems to share many values. And it was not so long ago that he suggested that his divorced wife work as a waitress rather than accept alimoney from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zeb100ddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 HelloI suppose it could be something to do with the fact that most of islam and all of the "fundimentalists" would like to wipe the non believers off the face of the earth.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 My favourite part of the interview was when, in response to the interviewer giving statistics that claimed the rate of immigration had remained pretty much static for 25 years, he said (something like) 'you only have to take a ride on the metro in Paris to see these figures are wrong'. I wonder how often M. Le Pen rides the metro, with his fellow citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opalienne Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 He actually suggested that his former wife should work as a cleaning lady. She took the most wonderful revenge by posing nude in Playboy with an assortment of vacuum cleaners, brushes, soapy buckets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 I suppose that is why he frightens me so, he does hit the spot........... his solutions are a cauchemar. That is what I said. That he does talk about real problems that do exist. The PC world is imaginary, in real life everything he mentioned is what IS France. And like all good faschos he knows how to push peoples buttons and get them wound up about these things. AND as I said, HIS solutions are a cauchmar.

chris pp Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 An alternative to what Le Pen has to offer....Well I'm a simple sort of person and call me old fashioned if you like, but how about tolerance, inclusiveness, equality of opportunity, not judging people by their race or colour or religion or is that a bit to wet for some?Best, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
