I actually think it's kind of valid. The Anglo world did end up bailing them out, especially in the 2nd World War, only to be repeatedly backstabbed by the Free French under de Gaulle through the remainder of the war and the post-war period.

It's a strange country driven by a fierce brand of nationalism/jingoism that exceeds anything we could possibly understand.
