Not yer average jokey witty puntastic barbelith barbequote, but this post from flyboy is great.
I think it's quite important that Londoners etc who understand and care about the global political situation get on record quite early and say: this changes nothing.
Because there has sometimes been a tendency for American neo-consevrative commentators, respectable middle-class English Zionists, and so on, to say "wait until the bombs start going off in your country/city, then you'll change your tune!"
No. I still feel exactly the same way about the war on Iraq, the illegal occupation of Palestine, the propagation of Islamophobia by the UK and US governments and media, the need to oppose ID cards and racist immigration policies, the need for the mass murderer Blair to be brought to account, etc. If anything, it's only strengthened my resolve.
A good counter to a couple of ghastly statements by Blair and Bush, in which they quite blatantly attempted to spin this thing their way, even before the facts are in or all the bodies have been counted. Bastards. |
