They are perhaps the most nationalist people in the world ... When you hear the English talk of this war you sometimes almost want them to lose it to show them how things are. They have the greatest contempt for the continent in general and for the French in particular. They didn't like the French before the defeat: (1) because they don't have order, (2) because they talk too much, (3) because they change their ministers every month, etc. Since the defeat, they have the greatest contempt for the French Army ... England first. This slogan is taken for granted by the English people as a whole. To lose their empire would be the worst possible humiliation".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-50900711801965774762008-09-21T16:26:00.000+01:002008-09-21T16:26:00.000+01:00It'll be interesting to see where they put the Bar...It'll be interesting to see where they put the Barclay Brothers (owners of the Labourgraph) on the list!Scary Biscuitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039289019338752778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1213552025911920272008-09-21T14:42:00.000+01:002008-09-21T14:42:00.000+01:00Maybe he will be on the Right wing list too!Maybe he will be on the Right wing list too!Iain Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270146219458384372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-91907193483534024932008-09-21T14:25:00.000+01:002008-09-21T14:25:00.000+01:00Hello Iain.

Of course it's subjective. That's the whole point. It's the opinion of two people - Brian Brivati and me. Of course everyone else will disagree. That's the fun of it.
