The act of #drawing is immersive, grounding and quietly purposeful. It opens a space to think and to be. Even in a world that isn't on fire, that is a precious and invaluable thing.

Drawing 92 of "A Never-Ending Way" is well under way.

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are hardly the go to guys of global politics.
Rational nuanced analysis is needed not easy quotes from compromised rentagobs.

A female MP at that.
Violence against women and girls is on the rise yet they blame immigrants for that.
Has Farage, Yusuf and co condemned this yet?

Boris de Piffle would advocate invading the moon for cheese if he thought it would get him some attention.

They never had a plot. Just a checklist of hate and resentment.

Coupled with Goodwin's vile comment about "re-educating" women to have more children, Farage attacking female journalists Γ  la Trump, and James McMurdock's conviction for assaulting his girlfriend, it's clear that misogyny and male supremacy are hardwired into Reform.
