England Our England

I don’t really know what I can write about the London bombings. I’ll need to reread Orwell’s England Your England essay to see if it says anything that sheds light on how I feel right now. I’ll probably stop by the UK consulate tomorrow, like I did with the Spanish one after the Madrid bombing.

I know Christopher Hitchens wrote pretty well about it.

I know that Ken Livingstone spoke pretty well about it, even if he did sound like he was excusing such violence if it targets are ” presidents or prime ministers.”

I know that George Galloway remains an idiot.

I know a lot of people in my life don’t agree about how to deal with what’s happening to the world and to us. Let’s keep talking.
