It all started with
this, written in concert
with Booker. After almost exactly five years, it ends
with this and an
online advert for second-hand Snatches. If I could afford it, I'd buy one as a reminder, just to make sure people do not forget.
But the heat has already gone, the interest dissipated. Today, Booker's piece on the Snatch gets three comments (at the time of writing). The one
on windmills gets forty-four. Even
my piece barely got any comments.
Furthermore, some newspapers didn't even bother to report the story. Many that did got it wrong. Now there is no political advantage to be milked from it, dead soldiers and forgotten wars are no longer news.
