After an extensive period living and working in East Asia, I returned to London recently. I hope I don’t come to regret this decision but let’s just say my hopes are not high, hindsight is 20-20 as they say. There is no continuity and no coherence to life in London. It is a mess of people, commerce and consumerism that in turn produces chaos, confusion and endless contradictions. London is a non-stop assault on the senses the likes of which I struggle to explain and process. Globalisation demands that construction takes place in the most inconvenient of locations no matter how much disruption it causes, that foreign people with strange customs and languages be brought onto these shores en masse to ‘enrich’ us and that nature and tradition make way for economic growth and development. This is the culture of chaos that London embraces.
Prediction, The Disunited Kingdom of Not Britain and Not Northern Ireland WILL have a 'civil War' over who has power over the lands of these isles.
This conflict will be existential for all participants.
