Just in case anyone might be interested in reading it, or demanding that others read it. Either would be much appreciated.
Please and thank you.

Farage is so determined to suck up to the Trump administration that he's willing to put the nation's risk at health through dangerous insinuation. That's what is really going on here and its disgusting.

Added a couple of new prints to my online shop. Palace winning the FA Cup and the Goodison Park one, if that’s your vibe, absolutely no worries if not.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From LONDON—Claiming that he recognized the member of the royal family, but his memory was hazy, President Donald Trump has spent his entire trip to the U.K. trying to figure out where he knows Prince Andr...

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?” said Trump

Not many words in this cartoon - it's a mostly silent story of two crusading knights on horseback who travel through a series of wild fantasy landscapes, basically like a Lord of the Rings type quest, and then they eventually get to a modern british town, and they walk up a bleak British overpass, and then one of them climbs up a lamp post and sellotapes a sad little St George's flag to it, and the other one takes a photo on his phone, and then he climbs back down, and all the panels so far are reversed - back through all the different landscapes, their quest over. On the last panel knight 1 finally speaks asking "how many likes?" and the other one says "22".

What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

will be doing some more general columns for the guardian going forward. this one is on remigration and the evolution of a far-right pipe dream into mainstream discourse. I promise they won’t all be this depressing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The question bears repeating: why are the establishment UK news media continuing to claim that mass anti-migrant protests are erupting across the country when they are simply not?
