This is the point at which the destructive brain virus got in. Sometime around the development of file sharing and piracy as a “political act”. It will eventually ruin everything. Shop well and resist.

Not only awful things have a price ticket. Lovely things do as well. Pay the nice people.

Support an artist, sign up to my patreon, couple of quid a month and you'll see things you wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, work in progress sketches, higher res versions and pictures I don't post anywhere else.

You know how every few months you read in the news about some abusive father whose wife & kids had fled, but he tracked them down, turned up with a bellyful of whisky and a shotgun and killed them all and himself because his male ego would rather the world end than be humiliated?

No reason.

I can’t wait to see the look on this dickless buffoon’s face when all this shit is being read back to him in The Hague. What do we think his excuse will be? “Donny made me do it” or “I was so drunk I don’t remember any of this”?

Seriously, what the HELL happened? The 80s were a fucked-up time in many ways, but anyone who said that Floella Benjamin and Lenny Henry weren't British would have been laughed out of the room.

I see the ‘patriotic’ parts of the press are delighting in a US President having a go at the PM.

Oh well, how can I argue against that kind of logical clarity. Just for a minute there I was worried you were a fucking nutter; thanks for clearing that up.

Seem to recall there’s a word which perfectly describes this… Starts with an R and rhymes with “racism”.

‘Made In Europe’ Plan Could Upend EU Reset  - British Chambers of Commerce The British Chambers of Commerce has warned the UK could be sleepwalking into a legislative nightmare, which could upend the EU Reset, unless urgent action is taken.

Rejoining the EU fully would ensure we are not isolated from any future plans that could potentially benefit the country and boost our prosperity.

“What we now know about vaccines”?

What’s that exactly and who the fuck is “we”?

Been thinking about this on and off all day, I think if Jesus did come back his first job should be to turn the water inside the bodies of everyone who has started a war, hoarded wealth and caused suffering into wine.

They are indeed; one reason I’m glad the Greens one last week (although frankly I’d have been okay with the Raving Loonies winning as long as Reform lost) is that had Labour won they might still cling to the hideous idea that they can out-Reform Reform…

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps
