Strong and stabelol

Haven't blogged for a little while, been too stressed with the General Election to focus on real life. I mean fake life, comic blogging, shenanigans etc. Even sex; I actually haven't had sex for OH GOD IT'S BEEN WEEKS HALP MEHHH

So ... ahem .... blimey, let's defbrief on what's going on in ruddy bloomin old UK, eh? WELL, when you get to the stage that the Red Cross, UNICEF and Amnesty International calls your government twats, and your
Prime Minister says "Hey, we don't need the stupid Human Rights Act!" and "Let's censor the internet and get rid of encryption!", their true colours start leaking out and the nation returns a fabulous headbutt.

Lovely! Delightful turn of events tbh.

Why this current chaos is wonderful: (1) If you government is so powerful it can ignore the opposition, that's not democracy it's 'strong man' politics which, as Kazakhstan will tell you, isn't exactly a joyously productive state of affairs...
[*cough cough* Trump *cough cough*] (2) An unbelievably biased right-wing media has been handed their arses. I heard Rupert Murdoch stormed out of The Times election party when the exit polls blew up, and anything that causes Rupert Murdoch to storm out of anything gets my vote tbh. (3) Any Brexit negotiations (heck any bloody policy whatsoever) will now need to be run through a collaborative process in which parties will field ACTUAL EXPERTS, rather than the tiny group of asshats who've manouvered themselves into position. And most of all, (4) HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAaaa!

Good times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some weirdo lefty, I'd happily see this happen if it was all the other way round and Labour had too much power and were disrupted; I just like to see democracy churning power houses up, that's all. Especially when those in power are doing all they can to make the poor even more poor.

Yes we might have a few weeks/months (... years) of chaos in the UK but that was inevitable since the Tories went full UKIP and disappeared up their own arses. But we at last are able to field a voice that says "We now have four million children in poverty in the UK. That's not good enough." - and we haven't heard that voice in government for a good few years.

Final political point; the DUP. Hah!!! If that clown car isn't enough to crap the Tory party out the other side of a 1950s monstrosity and into a new era (perhaps one with ethics and integrity?), I don't know what is. Obviously the DUP is a ridiculous caricature of idiocy, so perhaps partnering with them will be the final nail in a long-overdue coffin for the current Tory core.

The entire state of affairs is summed up in this single, delicious photo of democracy in action:


ALL HAIL LORD BUCKETHEAD

John Oliver had a great bit on the election on Last Week Tonight, including Lord Buckethead. Buckethead is an inspiration! His bucket is so shiny.

Can't wait for the new comic! It has been sounding like you really have a newfound creative energy and I really look forward to seeing the fruits it bears.
