Alex's bEaUtiful: 'DON'T LET GO!' cartoon features in Saatchi Gallery magazine...

And boy, have there been tears...

One can only hope that out of this (Eton) mess some good will come.

Perhaps a huge shake-up was necessary because things were so much worse than we, in our London bubble of liberal, middle-class righteousness (or should that be 'lefteousness'?) and fabulously, truly, multicultural mix, had ever imagined.

stabberjocky by Steve Pottinger 2016

And had to post this, too; it's totally fab...

Getafix tells it like it is in Brockwell Park Mac Gilchrist

stabberjocky

(with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

‘Twas Brexit, and the slithy Gove
did frottercrutch in dwarfish glee;
he snicker-snacked the Camerove,
Machiavelliadastardly.

Beware the stabberjock, my son!
The empty eyes, the robo-glint!
who fellobrates the Murdocrone
the Ruperturtle übergimp!

He pallerised the BoJo cloon
they chummed upon their sunderbus
emblazoned it with fibberoons
and bambulluntruthoozled us.

The tousled toddler slaughterchopped,
his destiplans an Eton mess,
the slubbergubby gollumgove
a shadowhand of viciousness.

O gipperchund! And vomberblast!
The skitterchit of slick and sly
the snicker-snack of backstablades
the scrabblage to ruthlerise.

The bubberchut of charismissed
the turdletruck of banalbore
is patterfrondled on the head
a pawn upon a checkerboard.

Beware the stabberjock, my son!
The empty eyes, the robo-glint
who fellobrates the Murdocrone
the Ruperturtle übergimp.

A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE AROUND THE BODY

I've been quiet for a while - somewhat overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of both national and much closer to home events.

On the rollercoaster theme, here's something rather nice for a change...should be fun!

ALREADY ON AMAZON ready to pre-order!

For What Binds Us

A dear friend sent me this the other day. I read through it and thought it very beautiful. But I've read it again several times and it's much more than beautiful - it's powerful and relevant and seems to resonate strongly with our collective state of mind at the moment. 

It's true that nothing is certain but change, so perhaps these moves and shifts that are coming thick and fast are inevitable. However, it doesn't mean we must get swept along by them; inevitability does not equal impotence. We are the makers of our own destinies and whatever is happening around us and to us, we are still lucky enough to live in a country where it should be possible to do something about it. For now. And now we must act to preserve that right.
