  Pants on fire: Politicians always say what they believe people want to hear. Currently Boris Johnson’s government has a crisis of believability. The seem to be just making things up. When Boris Johnson stands before schoolchildren and quotes Kermit the Frog you know the Green issue has become entirely amphibious – ahem – I mean ambiguous. Ambiguity is the stock and trade of the liar. That’s why politicians are so untrustworthy. They actually begin to believe their own propaganda. A little straight talk would be refreshing from time to time. If you enjoyed this cartoon, why not follow more of my political musings?

 Some Progressives today argue passionately in favour of Socialism. What are they thinking? There has been a recent trend by the progressive left to promote Socialism as the antidote to rampant Capitalism. Socialism and Capitalism are not political ideologies, they better described as are ideologically driven economic systems.  Free Market Capitalism is a self-ordering system that allows each individual who generates value to be rewarded according to their skill and ability.  Socialism is a State imposed levelling system that takes the production of all and distributes it as the State deems appropriate or necessary. The difference is best illustrated in the writings of Karl Marx and Ayn Rand.  Marx was arguing for absolute State Economic control, and Rand argued for no State interference in the Economy. When the Progressive Left insist we need to try Socialism again they the fail to recognise what the inevitable outcome of absolute power is.  So t...

  I recently came across a post on Facebook by a South African church leader declaring that a cross-dressing man identified as Mark Bryan would be welcome in HIS church.  His church is called Future Church Now .  He positions his church as throughly accepting of persons with forms of gender dysphoria as opposed to 'other churches' that do not.  So far so good.  Considering Christ's injunctions to love one another, I have no argument with that.  The church should already be practising such inclusion as Christ commanded. I fail to see the point of this declaration if not to only virtue signal.  It's his assertions in support of the claims that I disagree with.  This leader claims that there are no gender specific jobs, " being purely cultural constructs, and not based in Scripture, God’s will or universal truth ." Biology (which he as a christian would affirm is the creation of God) shows that there are differences in career choices that are innate ...

My Education Scandal Cartoon for Scotland Matters has now gone live. Entitled “School for Scandal”, Scotland Matters draws attention to he failure of the SNP government. There is an underlying message of the Education Scandal Cartoon. Being in the SNP’s leadership guaranteed to be implicated in a scandal. We have come to a point in history where something like an Education Scandal Cartoon has become unsurprising. Jordan Peterson remarked that it would be a refreshing change to see evidence of competence amongst politicians. Perhaps that saying is true: “If you can’t do it, then teach it.” (…but what if you can’t teach? – you can always become a politician.) Mark Twain said that politicians are like diapers. Both must be changed frequently for the same reason. If you enjoyed this cartoon, why not see more of my political work?

The Irish Brexit Riots Bus Burning seems to ignore that fact that destroying infrastructure only hurts those most vulnerable in society. Forcing a political standpoint on society with violence is setting aside democratic process.  It is only as a last resort.  So when the time comes to pay the piper, those who resort to violence should not expect democratic and fair representation.
