"If you're dealing with the French, you have to realise they are devious: that's how they are."
Former Conservative Government Defence Secretary Sir John Nott gives two splendid interviews to Iain Dale on the re-capture of the Falkland Islands, the British in Afghanistan in the ninetheenth and twenty-first centuries, his wife's charity to help the Slovenians, and other things, here and here.
Update: Under the heading "EU refuses to back Britain over call to threaten exports freeze", The Times reports, "France, Iran’s second-largest EU trading partner, cautioned that further confrontation should be avoided."
Thanks.
Arthurian Legend
"Once back here I got to thinking - 'how do I get out of this?'
Perhaps the really haunting spectre is that I would have to turn my back on the lake, and the prospect of the sword."
