It was excellent. Can't wait to see the next episode.

Lawrence first used the term "Insurgent" and of course he was using the term to decribe his own actions. It's several years since I last read "The seven pillars of wisdom" but I think Lawrence mentioned that fighting insurgents was like trying to eat soup with a fork. It's slow, messy and you will never complete the task.

The Americans in the film may have been reading their Lawrence, but I'm not convinced they understand it.





Milliband has been studying his history and has obviously understood it as well.
