Hi d, I've just read the full text of John LeCarre's essay "The United States Of America Has Gone Mad" in The Times(UK). I was impressed by his writing,it was eloquent and precise and avoided all the usual cliches and platitudes spoken on the subject.P.S I am from the fair city of London,no one here calls themselves Brits, I think its an Amercian thing.

dear 'voice' inside my head... I just received another
e-mail for peace from a friend -- to paraphrase one quote in the article from Mother Teresa found her saying that she would not join an "anti-war" demonstration, yet she would join a "pro-peace" rally. There is a difference, yes?
Gotta go -- "London's calling..."

Hi d, no,nothing in particular,I just admire the Mirror's unexpected stance in being out and out against the war. Spookily in your entry you said "London's cslling" which is a song by The Clash and the first record I ever bought.P.S whats papers do you read.

Hello... I don't get the spooky entry part -- I was just
hearing that one lyric in my head as I was writing to you (in London) -- so I guess you ARE the 'voice' inside my head! Oh -- if the term 'Brit' is considered slang and/or derogatory in any way, all apologies. I guess what I'm wondering what the generic catch-all term is for ALL people from England? If one is NOT from London, then how is
one called? Are you all Englanders then?? Thanks for the
communiques....

Hi d, Iam sorry if I sounded a bit offish about the Brit thing,I don't mean to. You can call me anything you like. In fact Brit will do just do just great. When I said "spookily" I just meant it was a coincidence that you mentioned the lyric of a song I like, I didn't mean it to sound like an X-file moment. Communiques!....now your making fun of me.
