“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

I read @hleehurley.com's thread on the news coverage of this, while listening to the world's service talking up the AFD in Germany and finding it hard to escape from sheer existential terror. Which I know is what the fash want.

Today’s hot news is that a man who isn’t an MP and another man who isn’t an MP, called a press conference to discuss an unworkable plan that had already been announced over a year ago.

James Baldwin was born on this day in 1924. In his writing, he shared his remarkable insight into the human condition and the inhumanity of racism. He influences writers concerned with human rights, justice, and the big questions about who we are and what we mean to each other. #WriterSky #BookSky

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Funny how Nigel will buy people a pint but likes people to give him £5m. The fact this ex-(racist) public schoolboy City trader with the mustard cords, the 5 houses, the undeclared gifts & the Up the 'RA Cameo videos is seen as a 'man of the people' is, by some distance, the hollowest joke I know.

I’ve got this brilliant political tactic for Labour called ‘have some principles and stick to them rather than trying to work out how to court as many focus groups as you can at the same time’ but I’ve a sneaking suspicion they may not take me up on it.

Unfortunately I've had to close our World of Moose website. Our business just doesn't exist without Karen. I will find my way back to making art, cartoons and illustrations and am setting up a website where I will be able to sell my work, albeit on a smaller scale than when there were two of us.
