Shall I compare thee to Hitler?


Oh boy, where to start? After witnessing the unfolding horrors in Minneapolis (and now in countless other major cities in the U.S.), I predict that it's only a matter of time until we see what is happening in America mirrored on this side of the Atlantic. Anyone who thinks that Trump's attack on black people, journalists, anti-fascists (ANTIFA, eh?) and anyone else who gets in his way will not be adopted in the very near future by our despicable bunch of bigoted Tory Trump sycophants is, I'm afraid, sadly deluded.
And like most bullies, when the going gets tough the tough (yeah, right) go into hiding: yesterday the most vile, morally weak, egotistical president ever to have held high office was last seen taking refuge in a bunker beneath the White House whilst upstairs the lights were extinguished. Sound familiar?

  1. It certainly is worrying - What times we are living through. And, the person who set the tinderbox ablaze goes into hiding in his bunker. We keep saying this, but a decade ago you couldn't have made this stuff up.

    1. I'm fast running out of anything remotely resembling optimism, I don't mind telling you. I think we all know it's not going to end well. Maybe I should just post pictures of my cat (she is rather adorable).

  2. Well said, John. Oh jeez, t's horrendous. I'm ashamed to be white (and have been for a long time!) Things have to change, surely? I have to believe they will.
    By the way, that Time cover is a phenomenal piece of graphic art, isn't it? Fantastic.

    1. It's genius, isn't it? It's what I call 'Route 1'.

  4. Great post John. I have pretty much run out of optimism. He should be removed by Congress, he's clearly unfit for office. The Time cover is stunning.

    1. Thanks, Adam. Everyone has a duty to call him out. Trump is a racist. It could not be clearer.
