The French election is now Marine Le Pen vs a collapsing French establishment

[Mrs Steve R]

Just out of interest, could you supply some specific quotes of criticism of Le Pen that has so offended Mrs Steve and yourself. I've had a bit of a look and can't find any, apart from the Sunni organisation that set up the meeting.

I suspect that no one on here would criticise anyone for refusing to wear a headscarf, I certainly wouldn't.

It appears that she was informed the night before that it would be required, but seems she turned up anyway for a photo opportunity and a soundbite.

I would have linked the Daily Mail article for you, but for some reason their copy missed out the bit about her previous knowledge of the requirement.

I saw it on here and one or two others but I was mostly talking about the groups and forums where I've seen people talking about it, I'm not offended by the way, not much offends me.

I can see why people might think it was a publicity stunt, if it were me and I'd been informed the night before about the scarf I think I would have done the same thing though, I would look at like I had done my bit by turning up as I am.

Macron, who came from nowhere recently as a candidate with 50 full-time staff and instantly became the preferred candidate of all the French corporate media is, ding-ding, an ex-Rothschild banker. Polls show him beating Le Pen 60%-40% in a run-off for the top job.

Earlier he was splattered with a protester's egg. Vid here: https://twitter.com/jbmarteau/status...rc=twsrc%5Etfw
