During the French Revolution the Brits helped French noblemen escape The Terror. It’s interesting reading stuff like the Scarlet Pimpernel and a Tale of Two Cities to see their attitude toward the French Revolution, the revolutionaries and the former owners of France and her people.
The Brits were helping the people who wanted to keep owning their countrymen, in other words.
I’m not defending the Terror, but the French “nobility” were noble in name only. If ever a crew deserved the guillotine, it was them. Mel Brooks was, if anything, lenient on how cruel and evil they were.
It’s amusing how little things change, now the Brits are helping Frenchman who want their woman to look like the property they want them to be.
