I dabble in IT and follow Arsenal F.C. Occasionally UK and world politics cross my path and I voice my concerns. Oil and gas kill people in wars, I'm doing my best to be less reliant on it.

Meanwhile: #Brexit
A colour newspaper-style political cartoon. Where Canada is embracing the EU while the UK saunters about aimlessly trying to make Brexit work.

Absolute joke by TNT Sports, a twelve month subscription at approximately £312 to watch the Champions League final. If they really cared (they don't) about the game and British based teams it would be free. #swindle #TNTSports

The show continues #UKPolitics #England #Labour
A satirical political cartoon of Keir Starmer in a dark suit and red tie, parodying “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” In the first panel, he covers his ears while angry voters protest behind him with signs about the cost of living, NHS crisis, low pay, unaffordable housing, and having voted Labour. In the second panel, he covers his eyes as more protesters hold signs calling for public services first, fair wages, investment in towns, and putting Britain first. In the third panel, he either covers his mouth or stands at a press conference podium, looking stern, with a speech bubble saying: “I’ll be here in two years running for PM while Labour continue chasing reform votes.”

Did they not give the old man his medicine last night? He's clearly lacking self control. Do we really need to send the King on a state visit to see this person who needs intervention?

What did the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ever do for us? Well.. #ECHR

Tried to fix it, hopefully that's better.
Editorial-style cartoon showing wealthy, well-dressed elites laughing on a stage under “Reform UK” banners while joking about taxes and slavery, contrasted with poorly dressed people below holding signs saying they can’t find work, afford bills, access healthcare, or buy food.

Let's be clear Maduro is an arse of a leader but yesterday was never about drug crimes, look at the Honduras leader being pardoned #Venezuela #Oil
Classic black and white newspaper cartoon of a TV and window with the newscaster saying "Today's Special Forces kidnapping-brought to you by "Big Oil." (Not drugs. Oil.). A ticker across the screen reads Tonights Operation: Sponsored by BIG OIL. Unseen person behind a desk watching TV is holding a dossier worded CASE: OIL Approved. Outside the window is a car spewing fumes through the window.

Wars...
A satirical illustration divided into four puzzle-like panels. Top left: an oil pumpjack operates under a blue sky. Top right: a shocked woman stares at her smartphone, which displays a surprised emoji. Bottom left: a hand holds a chunk of mineral ore labeled “OIL.” Bottom right: a red car drives past a house with smoke rising from its chimney. The panels highlight society’s dependence on oil and minerals, contrasting everyday comforts with their hidden costs.

It's absolutely insane that the Tesla board looks at Musk and thinks, 'yes! this is the man we want to continue leading our company'. One from a financial aspect and two from a company image aspect. Sales and stock are plummeting globally.
