NOW IS THE TIME OF MONSTERS
I’ve been a bit quiet recently, with a couple of larger projects hoovering up all my time.
Didn’t even send out a mailing list last month and I’m barely able to keep up with the news cycle.
But here’s some stuff I’ve been up to lately, with more in the pipe!
LABOUR OUT / REFORM OUT
From a post I made on Wednesday before the election:
Found the one freebie that Labour ministers won’t gladly accept.
We’re only two years into the most authoritarian government of my lifetime and we’re already long overdue to kick these corrupt, self-serving genocidaires out of power, along with all their billionaire-serving colleagues in Reform, Tories and the Lib Dems.
Full support to The Green Party candidates standing for election on Thursday and the brilliant Zack Polanski who has been doing an incredible job under what must be unbelievable pressure from all the worst people in the country, (and their allies abroad).
It’s fascinating to live somewhere that brands itself as a democracy, (some even say “the world’s oldest”, although I think that is technically New Zealand) but as soon as any semblance of a political movement that tries to make things better emerges, the state, media, and a spate of foreign-funded organisations unite and throw every smear they can think of at it to crush it forever.
And I’m sorry if you’re one of the naive liberals who fell for these tricks during the Corbyn years, you are going to have to up your game. I realise many liberals were simply reverting to (middle) class solidarity and didn’t want to pay a little more tax, but I knew some whose hearts were in the right place but they got completely bamboozled by Peter Mandelson’s Peoples Vote campaign (which shut it’s doors the day after the GE btw, its mission accomplished) and then walked straight into Starmer’s cynically truthless leadership campaign.
We can’t undo all that, but ffs don’t get fooled again!
NEW EXHIBITION
I’ve been making some new work for this group show at the Museum of Homelessness in Finsbury Park.
Opening on the 21st May, and featuring work from 10Foot, Gemma Lees, Matt Bonner, Surfing Sofas, and me!
More details here.
GOVERNMENT OF THE PAEDOS, BY THE PAEDOS,
FOR THE PAEDOS
It’s what he would have wanted…
There is little doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was, at the very least, an Israeli intelligence asset who collected ‘kompromat’ on powerful figures.
The files show his close relationships with the Israeli political and military elite, how a senior Israeli intelligence officer stayed at Epstein’s place on multiple occasions between 2013 and 2016, how the Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building where Epstein housed underage girls. They show Epstein’s funding of Israeli groups, including ‘Friends of the IDF’, the settler org the Jewish National Fund, as well as his ties to members of Israel’s overseas intelligence services. And FBI sources in the files claim he was an Israeli spy, just like his lawyer.
His long-time lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, dismissed the idea of Epstein working for Israeli intelligence by commenting on Epstein’s 2008 conviction that, if he were a spy, “it would have been a slam dunk for me to go to whoever I had to go to, even up to the president of the United States, and I would have gotten [Epstein] a deal with no time at all”.
At the time Epstein was facing life in jail and Dershowitz negotiated him a “completely unprecedented” sweetheart deal with prosecutor Alex Acosta, landing him 13 months in a luxury white-collar prison with day-release. Trump then rewarded that prosecutor by making him his Labor Secretary. Alan accidentally gave the whole game away. Playing propaganda on easy-mode all these years has not been good training for zionists trying to propagandise their militarised paedophile colony.
Ghislane Maxwell comes from a family of Israeli spies. Her dad, Robert Maxwell was a well-known Israeli asset (best known for PROMIS) who received an Israeli state funeral after his (mysterious, sudden) death which was attended by the Israeli president & PM and at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence. Israeli PM Shamir said in his eulogy that Maxwell “has done more for Israel than can today be said.”
If Epstein & Maxwell’s operation had not blown up in their faces, Israeli elites would have no doubt said the same thing about them.
ANTI-AI T-SHIRT HELL
After a bit of a delay my anti-AI slop t-shirts are getting shipped out on Monday.
But I’m losing my mind at this rip-off tshirt website (below) stealing my anti-AI slop design and padding the page out with AI slop copy about how they were inspired to create it.
“I still needed to do the real work”
Did ye aye?
PATREON ZINE BINDER
I’ve made these custom Wirex binders to collect around 10+ years worth of my annual Patreon subscriber zine. The outside cover is 3D and can viewed with the included 3D glasses you’ll find in a plastic pouch on the back inside cover, which can also hold stickers and other small bits.
Each binder is signed and numbered. AND they’re lovely.
You can also subscribe to my Patreon here and receive all the previous year’s zines to go in the binder.
PRIVATE EYE
Had to make this the other week after discovering that (genuine) quote from Ian Hislop, editor of
Private Eye, regarding the fact that his newspaper failed to report on the fact that their own
columnist Nick Cohen was pushed out of The Observer for sexual harassment in 2023, (and, it is
assumed, also stopped writing his anti-left ‘Ratbiter’ column for Private Eye.)
Nick Cohen has been a known creep for decades. He got his nickname “the octopus” due to how
frequently he’d grope female colleagues, safe in the knowledge that his power and prestige would
protect him. When he was finally sacked the entire media ignored the scandal, except for one FT
journalist whose article was spiked by her editor. It later took the New York Times to report on the story,
and the coverup.
For a paper like Private Eye, that prides itself on airing dirt like this about the political and media
establishment, it was a glaring omission.
Nick Cohen’s political views are also rancid: he pushed for the Iraq war, is pro-Israel, anti-trans
and hates the left, and would write about all these things in The Observer, The Spectator and Private Eye.

I got quite a bit of backlash about this post from centrist dads. But it also brought up some interesting things
about the history of Private Eye, including its promotion of the MMR/autism hoax, and its decades
of unchecked homophobia. It’s always been the establishment’s favourite anti-establishment paper.
