BREXIT

[VNA]

VNA - feel like apologising ???

I am at a loss as to what I am to apologise for.  Have I to apologise for your need to be offended?    Have I to apologise for your inability to understand a simple cartoon?  Am I to apologise for a sense of humour failure on your part?  I am to somehow apologise on behalf of the cartoonist Dave Brown, or apologise on behalf of the national newspaper that published his cartoon?


And I take it Frosties that as you find Dave’s cartoon so offensive that you have written to him and the Independent in order to express, hopefully politely and respectfully, your displeasure at this cartoon.

And yet again at 11.30pm - you really are a spineless self righteous cunt. A patronising, arrogant waste of space. 

Wow!  My access to this forum is being monitored by another member.  I didn’t even know you could do that.  It perhaps suggests you have issues Frosties.  Though on a positive note, well if this is all you have to get mad and upset at, then lucky you!

As for the cartoon.  It’s not mine, not my sketch.  It’s by Dave Brown, whom I understand has a regular spot at the Independent.  For a moment there I was about to explain the role of the news and political cartoonist – but really – I mean is that necessary?


Yeah I like it – hence I posted it here.  I like it a lot.  I can’t speak for Dave, but I can tell you what I take from it.  I believe the cartoon references events in Charlottesville a couple of years ago and Trumps comments on those events.  Trump criticised anti-fascist and racism protestors.  He further effectively said there are some very fine fascists. 



Charlottesville was extraordinary.  There was a massive show of force from fascists, racists, bigots, anti-Semites, including a procession by the Ku Klux Klan.  These people came to Charlottesville fully tooled up, with everything from knives to semi-automatic military spec assault weapons.


32 year old paralegal and civil rights activist Heather Heyer lost her life in Charlottesville on August the 12[sup]th[/sup] 2017.


And what did Donald Trump do, he criticised the good and brave people of Charlottesville and those who came to support them, who took to the streets to oppose the fascists and drive them out of their town.  Shame on the Donald, shame on him.


That was why when Trump came to Turnberry, I was there, along with many others, to express my disgust.  This is why repeatedly people have taken to the streets across the UK to express their disgust at Trump.


Donald Trump is a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, fascist sympathising, narcissistic and dim-witted idiot.  The man is a disgrace and an embarrassment.


So yeah, I feel, as I think Dave feels, we could do a darn sight better in remembering our brave men, and women, who fought and defeated the Nazis in Europe, so many whom gave their lives doing so.


Donald Trump laying a reef at the D Day Commemorations frankly makes me wanna puke.
