Comics have a platform which allows them to tell the world as they see it and LilyPaul did not like what he saw and said so, graphically and justly. Since the Tories became active criminals in their greed to 'own' the Money Tree (our taxes) as they slip deservedly from the power they were granted by by limousine-hunting Liberal MPs, it really wouldn't surprise me if Grady was poisoned! Worse to come, before even the Chance of better...

    As a southerner at Uni in Bradford during the early 80's Paul got this spot on. I was completely shocked at the poverty in the north, the decimation of a whole part of our country by Thatcher and the Tories. And the police violence I saw that firsthand at student demonstrations about cuts and during the Miner's Strike. RIP Paul.

      Try it. Put a little skirt on, Luke. I guarantee you won't suddenly turn into a danger to kids if you aren't already.
      If you genuinely care about children, what are you doing to help them? Priests are a much bigger danger to kids, what are you doing to keep them away from children? Most kids are abused and harmed by men who dress in men's clothing, why aren't you upset with those men and their outfits? You have such a weird and irrational fear of something which isn't a problem. Drag has been part of family entertainment for centuries, it's harmless fun. Get a grip and worry about the real issues.

    Thatcher is an example of power over people. When the North Sea oil fields lease were due for renewal, Norway decided to keep their oil rigs and became the country that we see today. Thatcher had an election coming up and see had promised tax cuts, and sold the British lease. We could of had a society similar to Norway, instead we have multiplying numbers of food banks.
    Her Tory ideology based on the economic theory of Milton Friedman, his theory that shareholder dividend over rides every aspect of life, no matter that it ruins the planet, causes the death of millions of people and drives people into poverty, shareholder dividend and privatisation is first and foremost, plus the ideology of Ayn Rand, which says that we are a nation of individuals, just as Thatcher said, charity is for fools and weaklings.
    The criminal cabal we have in Westminster today, is a perfect example of what a government can get away with, and enrich their billionaires donors at the same time. A society that has returned to Victorian times of poverty and hardship, people don't have enough to eat, today's announcement that they are sending the rest of the PPE masks and kits to the rubbish tip, seem to me that they are getting rid of the evidence of there crime and corruption.
    Mick Lynch and all the other union leaders are a shining example of what collective power can achieve.

    I was on both the London poll tax marches and Paul was right, it was the police that incited the riot. It was a carnival atmosphere, everyone - police and demonstrators alike - being peaceful and happily marching along and singing. Then we got to Downing Street and the whole tone shifted, it just got oppressive, like a thunderstorm about to break. Then there's shouting and confusion and my little party put down our placards and left to become ordinary tourists.
    It was after seeing Buck House and walking down the Mall that we heard the noise in the distance, like a constant faint roaring. We met a group coming the other way who told us we don't want to go any further and what had kicked off. We made our way carefully back into the centre through backstreets and saw hundreds of riot vans lining the roads. We just happened to be around the corner in time to see the horses going in, as well as seeing how the police kettled everyone into Trafalgar Square with every exit blocked off.
