It turns out that the 39-year-old French Presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron, comes from Amiens, and is married to his former teacher, although of course nothing became official until he had gone off to university.
Well, some of us know that generation of Picards of old, don't we?
Whoever goes up against Marine Le Pen in the second round will win, so that needs to be the right person, which Macron simply isn't, for plainly political reasons.
There is talk that juicy this and juicy that are going to be leaked in order to damage him. But it would be better to beat him on policy.
Similarly, there is talk that MI5 or whoever intends to leak something or other about Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell in the run-up to the next General Election.
As if anyone would care.
The spooks and their newspapers of choice might think that everyone in Britain was a hardcore Zionist (which the spooks themselves certainly never used to be) and a hardcore Ulster Unionist (which the Deep State never was historically, either).
But they would be in for quite a shock.
Mostly, if the nation noticed at all, then it would yawn.
By 2020, a Sinn Féiner, too young to have participated in the Troubles, might have been the First Minister of Northern Ireland for three years without the sky's having fallen in.
Not that anyone in Great Britain ever really notices Northern Ireland, anyway. Well, apart from the diehard Irish Republicans, of course.
Nor do they take sides in the Middle East. Well, apart from the Muslims, of course. Plus a section of the Jews, but it is not clear how large a section, and in any case there are vastly fewer of those.
This, though, is all that Corbyn's enemies have.
By common consent, people agree with his policies.
We are expected to believe merely that they would prefer them to be delivered by someone younger and better-dressed.
But Theresa May is already 60, and she is prone to serious wardrobe malfunctions several times per week.
The 2020 Election is going to be about policy. And she doesn't really have any. But he has lots.
