london

I am in London for the first time in 5 years. Unrecognizable. Grotesque huge modern buildings looming over historic neighborhoods. No sign of British culture except for vestigial pubs. Huge LED screens in formerly beautiful peaceful streets. People sleeping, living on the street. Dirt and chaos. Bike riders on sidewalks as newly in NYC! My Ghanaian cab driver (UK born) complaining about the loss of British culture and about immigrants who are taking over town councils one by one. There is no hint of Virginia Woolf’s London. It’s a globalist parking lot. Tragic.
