Just one consequence of the deliberate strategy of starving councils of money adopted by every government since the 2008 crash. The downstream issues, as always, will be far more expensive and problematic.
An incredibly worrying set of data about youth provision that the government’s youth strategy will barely touch.

Going to reframe all my older game coverage as "You see that tiny flag in the background? Someone actually sat and thought that up and the drew it all by themselves." "Every line spoken by this minor character was actually written in full by a person. This was something that happened all the time."

Started as an unfinished demo in just blues and oranges. Later I went back in with the same color palette (yellow ochre, alizarin, ultramarine) to partially add some definition in more realistic colors. Fun exercise. Oil on paper.

We need to get past the idea of these people being "radicalised" on X. The British ruling class has been racist for centuries. For a while that was suppressed by hard won anti-racist social norms. But after years of chipping away with e.g. talk of "legitimate concerns" those norms are now collapsing
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

You know how I hate to harp on about this, but nothing is ever going to change until we address it: How can this have happened when all our loudest political commentators stridently agreed *for years* that the public were crying out for these Serious people and these Sensible policies?

Absolutely consistent and not hypocritical: like all reactionaries, their argument was always that people like them should have unlimited freedom to do and say whatever they please without criticism and you should be made to shut the fuck up. By force, if necessary.
