Maybe so. What I see though is that in France you can be an international banker woman abuser and a leader of the Socialist Party. You can be a leader of the Labor Party in Britain and never worked a day in your life and also order bombing and torture of third world people who never harmed Britain.
You can be Adba. You can be a cultural icon who entertained nazi troops. You can be a Jew called Yats and take EU money to build a nazi led fighting force. You can swea you'll die defending your homeland and then tu:rn tail expecting the US Marines to do it.
You can be a neo nazi and leader of a "democratic" coup regime.
You can conduct yourself in an arrogant selfish contemptuous and contemptibl manner when you leave your peninsula. Go ahead.
