Bl**dy Tories

Today's veto has really depressed me. Not the detail, but because of the triumphalist Little Englandism that it has brought crawling out of the woodwork. We need Europe to secure our long-term future. This isn't about 'sovereignty', it's about kow-towing to Big Capital and it's needs. The US won't support us even if we wanted it to (and opinions vary on that). I am sick and tired of the triumph of prejudice.
Off into the Word Mines to carve out some more Red Fantasy. A bas les aristos!

It won't be easy. Being a mediaevalist, I look back to the 14th century, in which plague and the onset of the mini ice-age undermined more or less everything. We'll need to reinvent ourselves. But we can do it. Letting the financial sector get away with murder out of fear of no alternatives cannot be wise.

I guess it only took about 350 years, three civil wars and another plague to get the economy back into shape then.

Yes. It's big stuff. And I worry about my friends' children, my nephews and niece and all the others to whom we're handing this poisoned chalice.
