“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite.” — Pope Francis, October 2016 Rest in peace and rise in glory. Woodcut: “The Christ of the Breadlines”, Fritz Eichenberg, 1951. It shows seven people waiting in a queue for a foodbank. They are shown in profile, bundled up against the cold. The middle person in the queue has a halo, so bright it illuminates the other people and throws him into silhouette.

THE TOP LINE by Marnanel Thurman When people are selling Political schemes, The top line will tell you The truth of their dreams: If someone's first sentence Is “most folk are fools,” They're fixing to force them To follow their rules; If “riches from rags” Is the first thing they say, Their policy's planned To make poverty stay; And when “right of trade” Is the first right you're told, They're seeking a system Where slaves can be sold.

These stories are all true, unless they're not. I can't say, because they fade away-- like bad dreams, like the stench of pipe tobacco, like the ruins of a school.
I wish they'd told me. (Hand holding note: "Destruction. RSVP") I'd have loved to walk among the broken ruins of the place. Listen, I'd say to the twisted steel and the heaps of asbestos. Look. This is the end of all the stories. I'm still here. You're dead. That means I win.
Don't go looking for Briarfield. It's not there. Maybe it never was. At least, I'd like to hope so. The borough council saw sense, and razed the place at last. Maybe they'll build something useful.
A mockup Easter egg package on a supermarket shelf. The egg, which is mostly visible, is made to look like a cooked gammon joint. Below the egg, the package says "Definitely says EASTER on the front". The brand is "Gammons", in the style of the Thorntons logo. A red star sticker says "NOT woke" in yellow. The weight, 150g ℮, has been crossed out and replaced with "5 oz".

Three-panel comic. Panel 1: a man in unadventurous clothing is online. Someone is saying "obviously the sun is hot", and he has replied "oh yeah?" He types into a big computer labelled "Wild Guessing Machine (tm)" Panel 2: The answer from the AI is: "AI Overview: Yes, the sun is freezing cold. Reasons for this include: * It's made of ice: * Actual scientists went there because they needed some ice for their gin and tonic. * The iceberg which was sunk by the Titanic went to the sun, because ice is magnetic. * Everyone likes snow days, so it stands to reason they would be at the centre of the solar system." Panel 3: The man is typing the same text (it's connected to the same bubble). He adds "Checkmate, I feel."

The talk
Cartoon. A bus labelled "socialism; revolution; departs when full" is idling by the kerbside with a driver and two passengers. Nearby there is a merry-go-round labelled "reform" with toy buses, all full. Someone on the merry-go-round is shouting "Join you? No chance! At least we're getting somewhere!"
Demo of typing "This is what I will tell him", which displays as "This is what I won't tell him".
