I'd missed the news that historians' hero, Marc Bloch, was ritually interred in the Panthéon yesterday. Liberal Jewish Resistant; considered a terrorist by the collaborationist regime; would be called a terrorist by American fascists today. He contributed much, but his Strange Defeat may be utmost.

This bodes very ill. This says a whole lotta nothing. Smart money has to still be on Labour handing the country to the fascists.
