Marine Le Pen loses immunity over Twitter IS images

[mike_field]

France's parliament has stripped Marine Le Pen of immunity from prosecution over a series of grisly images she published on Twitter in 2015. A cross-party committee in the National Assembly decided to remove the protection Ms Le Pen enjoys as a deputy in the assembly.

Since when were MP's above the law - mad cop out.

And so she should have her immunity stripped. Who the hell does she think she is?

She seems such a lovely person as well... :21: :22:

As you say MF, how the hell can people like that be above the law?!!

I thought this type of thing disappeared when we stripped royalty of immunity? We are a bit backwards sometimes, aren't we?
