True enough. But it seems a lot of the problem was thinking France should be England's, that bloody (in all senses) and largely male Need to Conquer. Which is where, from the European side, the problem started, of course.

A little of Mitchell's breeziness and 2023 references go a long way. Though I liked his illuminating remark about some useless but popular king, I forget which: Richard maybe-- 'After all, I was rather taken with Boris Johnson the one time I met him.' Oh yes, I see.
