Le Pen sells party HQ to Chinese
France's anti-immigrant party, the National Front, is selling its headquarters to a Chinese university, according to the party leader. Jean-Marie Le Pen has confirmed that the party base has been purchased by a Shanghai university. Mr Le Pen, 79, has campaigned to become president several times under the slogan "Keep France for the French". snip The unnamed Chinese higher education institution has reportedly paid between 12 and 15m euros ($18 - 22m; £9.4m - 11.7m) for the sprawling mansion in the western Paris suburb of Saint Cloud, known as The Cruiseliner. The university is reportedly considering turning the building into a French language school. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7555861.stm Oh the irony!

Yes, I couldn't believe this when I read it! Poor old bugger, I feel sorry for him... :twisted: Na. Just kidding. :twisted: Spartacus

A well, at least they had something left to sell. Which can't be said of the BNP. Or Labour for that matter!

Well, Labour does although, as we speak, a number of Chinese Unis may be considering a nice little campus in central London... :twisted: And don't the Hitler groupies still have a lock-up shop somewhere in Norf Landan? Spartacus

And don't the Hitler groupies still have a lock-up shop somewhere in Norf Landan? Probably rented. And Labours HQ is mortgaged to the limit. Much like Browns Britain.

Perhaps he now thinks that France is lost, and he has now decided that he has wasted a lifetime on people who would not listen? Who knows? But I do not see why you expect him to cut his nose off to spite his face. This is probably a good price, especially in the current financial climate. And what difference will a few more Chinese students make to the current overall make-up of France? Perhaps he has agreed to sell on condition that every student must leave France on completion of their studies? We do not know, and the BBC is highly unlikely to tell us. A collection of French videos with English subtitles.

Is that the world cup winning team or the European championship winning team Max? Either way, I don't suppose too many French football fans were complaining about the ethnic mix of the squad.

Either way, I don't suppose too many French football fans were complaining about the ethnic mix of the squad. Which sums up nicely what I was saying about Le Pen and his possible frustration. There is more to life than football and soaps, and hopefully the masses will realise that one day.

It must be hard having an ideology that so very few people hold with Max. I wouldn't know, why ask me? I should think Spartacus would be better placed to answer such a question.
