Oddly enough I was once approached to write an article about Baird, but declined the commission because the subject didn't really appeal to me. Missed that one eh.
I seem to recall that British Imperial policy had, for a very long time indeed, been directed at keeping France and Germany at each others throats to ever stop them from uniting - and therefore controlling Europe. That strategy pre-dated WWI, as I recall, and I believe the Rhodes-Milner gang who ran things here in Blighty, up until the post WWII period.
And I absolutely recall a conversation I had with an elderly Restauranteur and gangster (now deceased) who was sitting with Anthony Eden when news came that Herr Hitler had unleashed Barbarossa, whereupon Eden slapped his thighs in joy exclaiming "we've won the war!"
I suppose the question to be asked was why a Brazilian born Italian with close links to pre WWII New York mafia ended up in London in the company of a former (and yet to be again) Foreign Secretary during WWII?
Eden was a blood relative of the Earl Grey, a senior inner member of the Rhodes-Milner kindergarden.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
