Well yes indeed, England and later Great Britain were at war with France for hundreds of years, had it not been for British heroes like Nelson and Wellington we would be speaking French. The fact is, in our entire history we have never got on with the French and believe me nothing changes. We saved their arses during WW2, today they flood England with illegals. Entente Cordiale my arse. The US saved all our arses — even Churchill recognised that, but he was half American. However, I understand your concern about replacing a Foreign Office that's so firmly anchored in the past with a Department of International Affairs.
The pictures of Britain's colonial era currently on the walls of the FO show this nation's history — and through the corrosive effects of its small-minded isolationist elite, Britain's history is rapidly becoming all it can offer both to the world and as a sop to itself...
The US saved us yes but they had to to save themselves in many respects. A Japanese/German entente of any sort would have made life difficult for any US government with the real possibility of a war on two fronts were the UK to go under and with the added fillip for that grouping that the British Navy would become available for the use of the Nazis. These were real fears in Washington. History is part of any country, it is what it is. All countries are searching for their own history, the UK's is well documented and full of recognisable flawed Titans as is true for most countries. If some do not like it that boils down to hard luck. |

Peasant. A nation that forgets it's past has no future. Churchill. |
