ed_dirt, in addition to being a very funny cartoonist, is a hell of a writer.

He's also an expatriate American now living very happily in London with his English wife, for which we envy his ability to get a good bangers and mash at the drop of a hat.

He has also written two posts that do an amazing job of describing the events of last week and what happened afterwards from an eyewitness who can also step back a bit from Britain as a whole to look at things.
