18 October 2023 - When Missiles Fall Upon Our Vanities
When missiles fall upon our vanities
And children die among our smoking ruins

“This isn’t what we meant…”
The former address, "reactionary drivel," was a P. G. Wodehouse gag that few ever understood to be a mildly self-deprecating joke. Drivel, perhaps, but not reactionary. Neither the Red Caps nor the Reds ever got it.
