SCROLL DOWN to see a selection of my political cartoons

My GC cartoons are FREE to campaigners, just go to the Feminist Fight- Back page, and share as you like, on or offline.

On this website is a fraction of my work from the last 40 years. Many of my illustrations were published in the 'British Small Press' (before we all had the internet) in the 70s and 80s, and I've included some on this site.

Between 2015 and 2020 I was a regular political cartoonist for the UK's only Socialist daily newspaper, the Morning Star, until I was cancelled by them for a feminist cartoon called "Endgame", which they published, and then were forced to apologise for, knowing it was a comment on the potential changes to the GRA and the erosion of Women's rights in the 2010 Equality Act.

I want to thank the journalists at Spiked for their support, in particular Joanna Williams, in her 'War on Women' article. Also the new UK Free Speech Union, Private Eye, Canadian journalist Meghan Murphy for interviewing me for feministcurrent.com, and Uncommon Ground Media. Also WHRC, Object UK, Graham Linehan, WLRN, PeakTrans, faircop, and all the other feminist- friendly sites and platforms, not least spinster.xyz, where I have recieved so much support.

Here's my tribute to Prince Phillip:

Both the cartoons below are my response to the Batley School blockade.

My Sarah Everard tribute appeared on uncancelled.co.uk

Weekend Warriors

The disgraceful hi- jacking of the peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard at Clapham Common, was followed by equally disgraceful violent protests against the police in Bristol.
Bristol has 2 Universities. It has a long history of drunk/ drugged-up middle class students, slumming it on the rough side of town, joining any protest, and making it all about them.
This goes back to at least the early 60s and the Bristol Bus boycott.

Cartoon for the Fair Play For Women's successful legal challenge against the Office of National Statistics, for their guidance on how to fill in Question 1 on the England & Wales Census, " Are you a Man or a Woman"? March 2021

Their Royal Safe Space-Nesses, on America's Mother's Day!

Limited Supply

2 news stories in February 2021 about 2 minorities. You can see this on uncancelled.co.uk

The dream of Scottish Independence dying in the poison of identity politics. February 2021, the Holyrood Parliamentary inquiry into the government's handling of the Alex Salmond (false) accusations.

Hong Kong crisis

Will the new US Prez support their oldest ally, as we support up to 7M Hong Kong residents with our offer of citizenship?

Based on the "Inadequate" free school meals packages given out by some schools during lockdown 3. The items on the list are Articles from the Human Rights Act.

Biden Wins

Trump Wins

Done as a pair with " Biden Wins"

They Think It's All Over

Come back, SPAD!

This is the departure of Dominic Cummings, after riding into town to wipe out the bad guys, here he is, heading off into the hills... this references the ending of "Shane",The Wizard of Oz, and Dick Whittington.

Disputed election

This one was on uncancelled.co.uk the week following the 2020 American election.

Biggest ever turnout?

This cartoon was on uncancelled.co.uk the week leading up to the 2020 US election.it turns out that the turnout was under 70%, so comparable to turnouts across the western world, including the UK. As the election disputes hots up, you can't help wondering if the propaganda of " Biggest turnout for 100 years" was to prepare us for something.

Je Suis Samuel

16 October 2020
The assassination of French teacher Samuel Paty, by the extremist wing of Cancel- Culture. I stand alongside all my fellow political cartoonists, many who live in far more dangerous countries than I do, in my duty to report, in our own way, on the issues of the day.
I have no defence other than my pens.

In October 2020, UK Uni students who went back to Halls found themselves in Covid lockdowns. Cue much wailing from over privileged brats and their parents!

Anarchists

XR Anarchists really did blockade the big newspaper distribution depots on 5 September 2020, preventing millions of copies reaching newsagents round the country.

China- world domibation- Confucius Institutrpes- HUAWEI

Another Tasty Morsel

Another Tasty Morsel - to commemorate the visit of the Chinese Premier to the UK, 20-24 October 2015.A representation of China's progressing world domination. Not published by the Morning Star because of the paper's reluctance to be seen to criticise any actions by communist countries.

'Let Me In' from 2015.

As fast as Germany opened it's borders to the first wave of Syrian refugees, other European countries were rushing to throw up fences to keep them out.

Published in the Morning Star, it shows a child's hand holding a teddy up to peer over a border fence. This has always been the most popular picture in my one-woman exhibitions.

Brexit Party

On Brexit Day (31 January 2020)a rally in Parliament Square was not allowed to have music, fireworks or the bongs of ' Big Ben'! But they improvised anyway!

The BBC loathed Brexit so much that they even refused to broadcast the PM's speech to the Nation before midnight, on either TV or Radio!
CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO HEAR FRIZZER'S BREXIT SONG!

'Unclean'

The Labour Leadership candidates have signed a pledge to expel members who get pronouns wrong. It's caused a Twitter backlash with the hashtag 'ExpelMeToo'.

Endgame

This cartoon is called 'Endgame' because it could be the last debate by Feminists in the western World about whether women can protect their safe spaces - for those rich enough and free enough to have the luxury to debate, of course. I understand that the Morning Star have issued an apology for publishing this cartoon! Better than being wiped out in your own editorial meeting by someone who objected to it, eh?

"Parasites" -published in the Morning Star in January 2020

Save Greta

'So good they used it twice'.
This is my iconic cartoon of the 2016 Euro Referendum vote, which clashed with Glastonbury. Will he vote or won't he?
The Morning Star used this 2 weeks before the vote, and again on the day itself.

German Election September 2017

Fluchtlinge = Refugees. Sad to say the Nazi spider is still lurking under the EU rug.
Will she still be Chancellor by the time you read this?? This cartoon was picked by the Morning Star as one of their Cartoons of the year.
