Sunday night – sitting watching telly I had an idea. I was bored and needed to pick on someone. I had seen a post of Greta Thunberg on Facebook referring to her as the ‘Doom Goblin’ and thought to myself: “I can do better than that!”
The Green Goblin is sinking… or is the water rising?
The Green Goblin is a far better moniker, in fact, ‘The Green Goblin of Doom’ is even better! Whether or not she is just a child with runaway existential angst or a victim of her parent’s ideology, we must be careful to not throw the baby out with the •ahem• bathwater. The climate is changing no doubt, but it’s impossible to determine why exactly. That’s another whole discussion but for now, I am simply having a bit of fun. Enjoy!

How can two of the richest, most famous and most privileged black women in the world today honestly have a conversation about being the victim of systemic racism? The system has disgorged a veritable cornucopia on both of them. Both women have everything they can ever need. This pandering to the catastrophising of an immature, spoilt Hollywood mum who married a Prince is sickening. She made her choices in full cognisance of what it meant to marry into The Royal Family. Yet she has the gall to assert that she is a victim. Perhaps her ex-staff say mean things because the have good cause to? Surely if she was kind, decent and courteous there would be no smoke and fires to extinguish? You think Harry would compare the behaviour of his mother to the behaviour of his wife and be able to draw a distinction. This is an intersectional triumph: Two filthy rich, privileged women of colour virtue signalling their victim status to the entire world. By having this conversation they each are
I was commissioned to create a “Titanic Failures’ political cartoon for Scotland Matters. They are hoping to draw attention to the issues around the Ferry Building Trade in Glasgow. It would seem the entire project is not only way over budget and way behind it’s time line – the ship building company had to be nationalised to avoid it going into bankruptcy. Something fishy is going on here! If you enjoyed my thoughts along with this cartoon, why not go and browse more of my work?

Accusing cultural icons of inappropriate imagery only serves the interests of those who wish to erase culture. Millions and millions of children acculturated into Western Society by a literary diet that includes Dr. Suess children's books have not become racists. We could argue the effect of open libraries and debate has been really beneficial to all people of colour. The Western intellectual tradition has formulated a society fully accepting of the 'other', and nurtured an environment that is perhaps too supportive of political nonsense and gobbledegook. The latest accusations of the culturally inappropriate imagery in some Dr. Seuss books made by the woke intelligentsia is tantamount to nonsense. This claim is made without proof and does not attempt to establish causality. It can only be bunk. Yet it is feverishly supported only by those only too eager to seem on the right side of the narrative. The truth is that the other 99% of society doesn't agree with them.
