Hollande's Le Monde interviews 'political suicide' - BBC News
Francois Hollande, France's President, goes all "Trump" ... must be the new political spin.
In a collection of interviews just published by two Le Monde journalists, the French president unburdens himself, in astonishingly cavalier style, of a series of revealing jibes:
And, on a personal note, ex-partner Valerie Trierweiler was a traitor because she lied about his famous "toothless" quote about the poor.
Perhaps most damaging of all, not a jibe but a revelation: the admission that he personally ordered the assassination of four enemies of the state, presumably militants in the Middle East. The secret services must be fuming. (This last one is a real doozy ... await backlash, legal action etc)

- The justice system is full of "cowards"
- There are "too many" immigrants
- There is a "problem" with Islam
- Footballers need "brain-building"
- Intellectuals are "not very interested in the idea of France"
