 Obviously this has a nod to Lowry, but it appeals to me. The Old Ale House by Mal Burton.

the ceuta migrants invading spain - an update

 An update that was more than expected if you happen to check the actual facts of the 'invasion', despite the front page headlines below from the usual lying shit stirrers.

This is not my actual walk home, but it would only take the trees on either side of my walk to grow a bit more and this wouldn't be that far off. I blame God.

a history of brexit in 256 disasters - junty bloom and marty rowson

This is both interesting and informative, but as a reminder of the lies and the shitshow that was Brexit, plus the charlatans involved, it's also depressing, but the caricatures by Martin Rowson are outstanding. There's a lot more reporting, but l've highlighted some of the drawings.  Recommended.

the ceuta migrants invading spain

I was shown the images of 'immigrants invading Spain' in the pub earlier this evening with the usual rhetoric of 'they are all badies heading here to sponge off our over generous benefits system'. I was mocked for saying l would investigate when l got home, but the slightest glance at the actual news revealed the 'invaders' were still in North Africa, just on a part of Spanish territory, and with probably no wish to travel any further. One thing we did agree about in the pub was that social media (especially Musk) is stirring up crap and trying to divide people with outright lies. The right wing fuckers in positions of power also do so, despite being aware of the facts, as immigration stokes fear and is a good way of scaring, annoying, and enticing voters to your variation of 'they are all rapists, murderers, scroungers, not of our culture, fighting age people to be frightened of' etc. Don't trust a lot of the billionaire owned press and check facts, although in reality, people will just see the headlines and right wing quotes, so the plan to stoke division works. Hence the rise of the far right across Europe. This time it's the dark skinned and Muslims being scapegoated, but it could just as easily be The Jews, The Polish, The Turks, The Irish, The unemployed or disabled, 'Communists', 'Antifa', or you and me. A sad replay of the 1930's, and we all know how that ended. Fuckers.

 

Here's a handy guide for the future 'invasions'.

coyote vs acme - fingers and toes crossed

The Road Runner cartoons were my favourites as a kid (along with Foghorn Leghorn) so l am looking forward to this film with fingers and toes crossed, as it will either be excellent or a disaster in my view, as there's no middle ground with things you love so much.

Punk Rock was in full flow, The Stranglers were on the same episode of TOTP (Go Buddy Go), as was Bob Marley performing 'Exodus', but Honky decided to be a second rate Sly and the Family Stone. What a time to be alive.

boy george choses the wrong side of history

I think Boy George may come to regret this stance, but then again, if  he can't see the evidence at the moment, maybe there's little hope. Even if you may be able to call the start of the invasion and obliteration of Gaza a war at the beginning, it soon turned into a genocide, and the killings (including targeting children and aid workers) continue.

What a fucking embarrassment John Cleese has turned out to be. Once upon a time a comedic genius with few rivals, now a sad caricature of the very people he used to mock. Railing against foreigners coming to the country while he lives in the Caribbean.
