A terrible story. Matthew 5: 43-44. Still true. Still difficult.

There is very little which makes sense about UKIP. When times are tough there’s always someone who exploits the fears of people by turning them against “outsiders”. Nigel Farage is that guy in the pub who gets drunk and comes up with lazy solutions to complicated problems.
I know, not a very cheery Christmas cartoon. Must try harder…

We need to do something about GBV

Gender-based violence is an awful thing. But let’s not forget how many ganders are the innocent victims of institutional violence. It’s time. It’s time we all spoke out against gander-based violence.

Strikes Cartoon
Posted in cartoons, Political with tags Cuts, protest, strikes on July 16, 2014 by cakeordeathcartoon
Here comes the serious bit. We had strikes in the UK last week (and no, they weren’t about the football). There was all the usual murmuring about what can be done to tackle striking as though it was a scourge on the fabric of our society. I was raised with the idea that striking is an unnecessary inconvenience to “all of us regular working people”. It turned out that is how office workers and people in management and senior positions view themselves. And when was the last time they striked? But the more I learned about why actual “regular working people” strike, the more I realised why it is far from frivolous. For some reason the pensions and pay conditions of those with fairly crappy jobs are forever being tinkered with. There is a staggering amount of inequality in the world – striking is a fairly harmless yet important way of redressing that imbalance. Like all acts of public protest, striking is rarely used and clearly indicates there is a problem. And if you haven’t heard “We shall overcome” by the late Pete Seeger, well, listen to it.

The most lopsided score of the past week was not Germany thrashing Brazil 7-1. What if Gaza and Israel had met at the World Cup?

In case you missed the news story: Scarlett Johansson decided this week that she would prefer to represent Soda Stream (who have built a factory on Palestinian land, an act declared illegal by the Geneva convention, the Rome Statute and the international court of justice) rather than go on being a global ambassador for Oxfam.
