Articles about Brigitte Bardot after her death on Sunday have referred to her far right sympathies, which supposedly emerged later in the film star's life. Here she is, though, in 1958 with Jean-Marie Le Pen and Pierre Lagaillarde, future founder of the extremist OAS terror group

I shall henceforth be known as the French Treehopper.

I like the name. Because the obvious thing that distinguishes it from other tree hopping animals is that it's in Brazil. And the only thing that distinguishes it from all other Brazilian animals is hopping in trees.

My story explains how the argument has legal weaknesses and comes from an anti-wind policy doc I reported in January
