Lifting the Lockdown won’t be easy. It’s a real case of try and see. People have become used to inactivity and are predictably reluctant to re-embrace such frenzied activity for less quality of life. People are beginning to realise that living off the state is much better bargain.
I prefer to live on the dole now.
The problem is that we all can’t sit around and suckle on the tits of the State. Sooner or later we are going to be lifting the lockdown because someone has to make the money to pay the taxes to feed the indigent and supply the infrastructure. That is the biggest problem with socialism. It sounds OK to the idealogue but it’s practically unsustainable. Think about it. Unless the State prints the money who is going to drive tax revenue? Answer: Capitalism. The only successful socialist models combine both financial modalities in order to survive. Think about that while you lounge about and save the world from a CoVid apocalypse. Oh the absurdity of it all. Save the world and do nothing. That should already tell you that this is not what it seems. Why are we even discussing lifting the lockdown when the lockdown quarantined the wrong people?

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 vir...
Seeing Systemic Racism in Britain is a matter of choice. If you begin with the conviction that Systemic Racism its the only explanation for inequalities that divide British Society, you are sure to find evidence of it. You begin with a fixed belief and cherry-pick facts and information to confirm your suspicions. You are no better than a religious fanatic claiming that the world was created in six days. Having grown up in Apartheid South Africa and strongly opposing racism of the systemic sort, I find no evidence of it in Britain. I agree with the Ministerial findings on Systemic Racism in Britain. There simply isn't a more tolerant and less racist country in the world. I am proud to be British! If you enjoyed my thoughts along with this cartoon, why not go and browse more of my work?

Satan always cops the rap for the evil that men do. It’s easier to ascribe chaos to an inanswerable transcendent entity like a devil than to face the harsh realities and hold people to account. Human beings operate in a ceaselessly adjusting complexity and shit just happens. Illustration by rob@flamingpencil.com But the red devil here is easily identifiable. We all know China is at the epicentre of this international disaster by intent or neglect. The devil is in the details. The question is whether they should be held accountable for all the damage that has ensued and what will world leaders do about it? Since those red devils have forced us into a coronavirus lockdown and you have oodles of time, why not go and see more of my work?
