War and lechery
War and lechery
To Parliament Square tonight to visit Brian Haw on the 2,000th night of his protest against the war in Iraq. I had no idea this would be such an exclusive event. There were 30-40 of us — where were thousands of others?
I begin to feel like Thersites in Troilus and Cressida, constantly snarling “War and lechery, war and lechery!” Our government advances our national interests with a new century of meddling in Mesopotamia, while we watch soft-porn reality shows in a media-soaked fog. O temporara, O mores! — O Times, O Daily Mirror.
