While I would receive (as no doubt would you) a vicarious pleasure from
seeing him become a 'taulard' I think politically it would only be grist
to his mill, " Liberté d'expression bafouée! Un martyre!." I can hear
the FN already. And what if he died in prison, he's getting on and IMO a
prime candidate for a heart attack. Ye gods, we'd never hear the end of
it.

No better to let him decline with his party, his stuff isn't working any
more and when he comes out with these little digs and provocations he is
very much seen as a public amuser these days rather than someone to take
seriously, a bit like George Marchais was at the end of his time as head
of the French Communist party
