His dream of the neo-medieval future included: a return of self-sufficient walled towns; a return of craftsmen's guilds; abolition of mass production; abolition of gunpowder, the printing press, the combustion engine; "return to the land"; a semi-monarchical political setup...

The best that could be said of the Wafdists was that, with the Axis armies at the gates, they were neutral, their hands upraised. The Egyptian Army, little more than a police force, could not be expected to resist. Egypt, old and lush, indolent and naked, waited-ready to be taken...
Necessary. Nothing could be more natural than that out of the tradition of Irish, Scottish and English whimsy the gremlin should appear, streamlined for the 20th Century. There is a sociological and psychological necessity in the thinking of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples to conjure up the embodiment of fate in a charming form. Herr Goebbels in Berlin would not understand...
