Here's an excellent op-ed in today's Times (of London) by Simon Jenkins speaking about Tony Blair finally meeting the Old Enemy. He starts:

Love America. Hate France. All else is local government. For two centuries this has been the guiding maxim of British foreign policy. Every Prime Minister should repeat it each morning as he shaves, and each evening as he prays. ?Love America . . . hate France.?

The Anglosphere lives.
