Horrendous. Unfortunately none of this sticks. People will still vote for Farage.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."
Peter Ettedgui, ex classmate of Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage.

not only is trump transforming the united states into a rogue player on accountability (unsurprisingly), but europeans are not fighting back. this is awful and it's not gonna stop. see brazil, too. vindictive & selective - all in the service of impunity.
An absolute scandal compounded in this case by failure of French government and EU institutions to forcefully react and sanction in turn those who have sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors. Makes a total mockery of FR/EU's repeated commitment to the rule of law/ICC
