Re: <nettime> notes from Brexania in limbo...

Thanks Keith for fleshing out the wider political context for our “little local difficulty” that sprang from Cameron’s reckless gamble

that had everything to do with the Tory party and resulted in a deep national psychosis. Sorry if this sounds like histrionics

but its how it feels.

I want to pass on to nettimes an even broader perspective a powerful article that Brian Holmes was kind enough to share (hope thats ok Brian) a brilliant and utterly

corruscating essay published in the NY Times by Pankaj Mishra a writer and polemicist from India who situates the crisis in English post-colonal delusion
