The Brit Defense head is Ben Wallace? Aren’t Brit offials supposed to have hyphenated names like Shelby Whithe-Harwick or Throckmorton Pennyweather-Smythe?
In British parlance I think the dash indicates whether or not you might be queer.
The present British cabinet includes a Michael Gove, a Liz Truss, a Grant Shapps, monosyllabic all. There’s also a Rishi Sunak ,a Priti Patel and a Saeed Javid. The only follower of your caricature is Jacob Rees Mogg.
Wallace is actually an interesting surname.
Like William Wallace.
It is derived from the Germanic word for non Germanic speaker, “Wahl-”. That’s why you have the exonym Wales, Walloon and Wallachia.
The Germanic word for italy was transmitted to Poland and that’s why the Polish word for Italy is Włochy .
William Wallace was most likely from Strathylclyde, the area of Ault Cluth, or the Old North, one of the last Breton kingdoms that held out against the Angles in the north before being incorporated into Scotland along with the Scotti (an Irish people!) and the Picts.
