You see, I'm not the only one! The first book seems to be saying that he will never be accepted by the French whereas the second one is more to my liking. I might have to get that one, it looks like a really good read.

Back in the 80's had a friend who was travelling across the Channel on a Kiwi passport & she got sent straight back, she went into the post office in Dover and got a 1-year paper passport (as you could get them in those days) and went back on the next boat and joined back up with her party! Something to do with a rainbow and some warriors.....

 

[Parisien]

Yeah....governments/states...unfortunately only truly reflect the needs and desires of the ruling groups/classes.....

The French have usually got their sticky fingers in some shady pie somewhere around the world.
