What a time to be in London. My family's long-planned vacation has given us a ringside seat for the greatest humiliations suffered by Britain since boxer Frank Bruno tried to take down a young Mike Tyson. First the British exit — Brexit — from the European Union on June 23, which people in London overwhelmingly voted against, becomes the law of the land, and then, just three days later, England's national football team loses in the European Championships 2-1 to Iceland (*Iceland!*). It is no exaggeration that, like Frank Bruno, people are stumbling in a bit of a daze. The most repeated line has been: “How the hell did we manage to get tossed from Europe twice in four days?” https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/62119 _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
