Carla Bruni pointlessly pinching the microphone cover (right after Sarkozy's hearing) is a thing of beauty. How do I get this made an Official Meme

Mitterand got away with it in the sense that he died the year after stepping down

Plus a handful of party leaders and / or PMs (Fillon, Marie Le Pen) so I can see how you got there

you say that, but I don't believe any other French ex-president has gone to jail?

To be fair I’ve seen a fair few analyses comparing Trump to a certain European leader too

I got this perspective from the doldrums of the high 40s, but weirdly they don’t seem to have done this for all 50 bsky.app/profile/znco...

You can certainly reopen the SE legislation and they probably will! But the people who negotiate it are then officials from national ministries who are all quite fond of their gmbH’s and SAs and what have you

Yes, the SE, but few people use it so you’d need to fix the underlying legislation

A bit more specific than that, I mean

I think a sitcom is a bit more than that! Though I can’t quite put my finger on what. The League of Gentlemen isn’t a sitcom, for eg

It’s a great series, I just never considered it a sitcom!

What is your definition of a sitcom, if Fleabag is one?

Reminds me of the old Goon Show joke
- I’m such a good doctor, I was struck off the rolls twice
- but you can only be struck off the rolls once!
- that’s how good I was
