I don’t understand this guy. He writes about the degradation of his culture and wonders what people are going to do saying that people need to make a stand *now*. What about him? What is HE going to do? When is he going to MAKE A STAND? More importantly, FROM WHERE?
If he’s just going to get on his plane and leave, doesn’t that make him irrelevant?
I’m leaving London tomorrow, perhaps for the last time, and I can’t say I’m sad. This isn’t my city any more.

I first thought my long absence was the source of my malaise. I’ve been feeling this niggling sense of unease, as though either I had changed or London had changed — as though we didn’t really know each other any more. I worked it out in the end. What’s wrong with London is what’s wrong with every major European city now. It’s Islam.
