“We all have one thing in common, and it is that we are fans of her,” one of her top lieutenants recently said. Bardella is first in line to replace Le Pen as the far right’s presidential candidate, but many have voiced doubts over his ability to take over the mantle from his mentor and unite a party devoted to the Le Pen family.

Her 2009 hit ‘Bad Romance’ features the lyrics: “I want your love, and I want your revenge / I want your love, I don’t wanna be friends.” Some bright sparks recognised the remix potential in that last word and transformed “friends” to “French”, thereby creating the ideal musical vehicle to diss the French, their culture…
“I do not compare Marine Le Pen with Jesus Christ but she is innocent and so am I,” Gollnisch said.
