    I don't know what background you consider your own. That is why I asked which side you would back in hypothetical France vs the UK conflict.

    This whole sabre rattling is drumming up support for political causes. Nobody is going to go to war - lest so Spain with the UK - it's a public spat between two countries who don't agree on the whole Brexit deal because Spain has a lot to lose out of Brexit and they have a ton of extra work to deal with the considerable amount of UK nationals living in Spain.

    When you have a lot of domestic issues to solve, having a ton more on the external side to be added to your plate doesn't make it very cheerful.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Knowing Brenus, he'd take control of the Isle of Man and declare it a separate country.

    I don't think you are allowed separate status if the populace is outnumbered by their own sheep...
