European Tribune - Comments

Tribal politics | 88 comments (88 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

We get testy over the term "Europe" (poemless can attest to that ;-), and over other things too.

Personally, I am increasingly convinced I don't have an allegiance to "The West" in any of its definitions. I also get testy over the use of the term "Spain", come to that.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

You're just testy in general.

Are you testing me?

Rootless cosmopolitan indeed.

So when I'm in Europe in early '09, how will I know when I'm in Spain?

you are the media you consume.

You will know when you're in the geographical extent under control of the Kingdom of Spain, but you won't be able to know what Spain is, nor should you believe what anyone (including me) tells you it is ;-)
