Good, clean fun.
But Gove would not take that view of the Crusades, at least not if he knew anything about them.
Nor would he regard the American Revolutionary War, and for that matter the War of 1812, as impossible "because we’re both the goodies."
He would indeed take the White Hats and Black Hats view of them. With the Americans in the white hats.
Leading to why he would not take even a nuanced positive view of the Crusades, either.
For that would be to detract and distract from Irgun and, especially, Lehi as the Goodies to the British Baddies.

That means the liberal, which is the historically and constitutionally accurate, understanding of the American Republic.
It also means Zionism as originally conceived, and to an extent as initially practised.
To each and both of those, Britain is the enemy.

The US Constitution is modelled on ours.
ReplyDeleteFrom the right to bear arms, to common law, jury trial freedom of assembly (and presumption of innocence) all of them originating in the 1688 Bill of Rights and English common law.
Not a Tory bone in your body.
ReplyDeleteGove called himself a Whig on Start the Week recently.
Daniel "Anglopshere" Hannan does so routinely.
You are another one.
