Finished this excellent book from @dougjohnstone.bsky.social and @orendabooks.bsky.social yesterday. You lot are in for a treat in August. The whole trilogy has been brilliant, and this wraps it all up in style. Thrilling and thought-provoking in equal measure!

When I posted 'it's beginning to look a lot like tea time' what I meant was that I was gasping and fancied a cuppa. If you want to take it as a call to resist fascism, it can be that too. Don't use Boston harbour water in your brew though, even if it's been boiled.

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.

Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila. He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too. Please talk about him.

Was just reminded of the The Impenetrable Layer of Suck, a term from Peter Corbett that I illustrated back in 2010. Can't imagine much has changed, other than the layer of suck has probably thickened and become even more impenetrable.

The problem with stuff like this is that outrage and anxiety are much more easy to monetise.

We do not and have never had an immigration "problem" or an immigration "crisis" in this country. We do, however, have a xenophobia and racism problem, and it's getting worse.
