Thank you @bleujay for this response I was quite unaware of the End Wokeness Twitter account but one I shall be keeping an eye on from now on, I am delighted that such an account exists.
It is quite worrying to see how many countries have tried eliminating the opposition through illegitimate means, even more worrying that many of those countries are supposed to be well established democracies. The irony they use the banner of democracy to stifle it.
You may despise someone's politics but if they are legitimate candidates with huge support from the electorate then democracy has to prevail.
I do hope Marine Le Pen has her appeal heard before the next French presidential election. Otherwise there will be millions of disenfranchised French voters who may decide to take matters into their own hands, it's not impossible.
For the moment I do hope her supporters will be very vocal and if necessary take to the streets to ensure Marine Le Pen's appeal is heard swiftly and that the right outcome prevails.
By the way in relation to her conviction do you think she did what she has been convicted of or not? I'm also aware that most French banks didn't want to touch her at one stage and she has struggled before to get funding for her campaigns, I think she was forced to seek some financial support from Putin at one point, but don't know all the details. It wouldn't surprise me therefore if she did try paying her staff anyway she could.

Greetings @peaceandmoney ,
Thank you for reminding me about the funding issue...I do recall there was a rumour about Putin.
As far as whether she herself committed the crime...it is hard to believe that she did. The pattern of using the law to rid the political system of the opposition is rather apparent by now.
I personally like to think that the public is ready for an authenticity that was not present before. Whether we will see honour, leadership, virtue, etc. remains to be seen. These things are cyclical...sometimes short cycles, sometimes long.
There is a book...'Blood in the Streets' by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg .....that has a foreword in which the last paragraph mentions the spiritual factor cannot be overlooked in it's effect on history. An excellent book by the way...rather timeless...since history repeats itself. ^__^
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
NB Thank you for your generous tip!
