| Re: <nettime> England leaves Europe |
i just wanted to add a rejoinder on the skewed generational nature of the brexit vote - yes, the gerontocratic aspect is all too evident, even in yesterday's spanish elections (where we should pay and homage to catalonia and expect that pablo iglesias will ponder that it was a bad idea to the a party alliance with the old left for an anti-caste, new politics movement) - did in spain brexit help rajoy at the polls? anyway the string of bad news seems to be never-ending.. if i can add a provocative note - it seemed to me as if the zombies of thatcher and scargill had joined forces to eat up the young.. whatever, fuck boorish johnson, unloved in london, lx On Sun, Jun 26, 2016 at 7:50 PM, Brian Holmes <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 06/26/2016 11:30 AM, Keith Hart wrote: > > I live in Paris and have in-laws in Switzerland, so I pick up more than > > average doses of anti-City rhetoric.
