Not the biggest of matters. Such blood as, in the minor rivulet aka Macbeth, has been shed. Altogether more major such blood as is being shed this day and which will be being shed, most fluidly, on all our upcoming tomorrows. Shakespeare is a nice, cosy, comforting go to in times of troubled waters... but hey ho, time's maybe pressing hard to step out from the past into facing the clear and present dangers of the present... with the only clear pass to proceed being able to evidence that from what I've studied, subsequently re-read and seen performed has enhanced my claim to global, respectful citizenship?

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. This, our, world is way out of joint. Who but we might ever set it right?

I don’t write about contemporary politics - I write about literature and history. There are plenty of others here who do deal with issues of global citizenship, though.
