Our latest compilation of political cartoons covers the election of Liz Truss, the ensuing media campaign against her economic policies, the Labour conference, the death of Gorbachev, Biden's divisive quasi-fascist speech, some cheeky Republican governors, the rise of Meloni, the cost of lockdown crisis, the fallacy of electric cars, nuclear scaremongering, Putin on the back foot, Iran protests and, of course, the death of Her Majesty the Queen and the ascension of King Charles.
Neil sets the scene for his latest monologue in 1965 as the body of Winston Churchill lies in state. He draws a parallel with the exceptionally long queues of people currently waiting to pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen. "Over and over again the silent majority - whoever they are, wherever they are - seem to defy expectations, much to the annoyance and frustration of those who wish they would simply disappear," he muses.
The silent majority, the loss of the Queen and British identity are the main focus of his talk. Click below for the full piece.
In a much shorter monologue than usual (five and a half minutes), Neil discusses the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. She was a 'constant in a landscape ever changing' he says, and how the world has changed since 1952. He puts the longevity of her reign into perspective by pointing out that her first Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was born in 1874 when Queen Victoria was on the throne.
The monologue is interspersed with scenes from Her Majesty's reign. Click below for the full piece...
