After the
obscene birthing of the bastard child 2010 Lib- Con Tory government, and during
the apoplectic convulsions of the 2011 London riots, I embarked on my own One Man
Photoshop protest. In that bockety ferment, stories of the Bullingdon Club and
Cameron’s moral piety piled up uncomfortably against unending health &
environmental injustices resulting from unabated globalisaed corporatism. The Greece crisis, Occupy Movement and Anti austerity student protests were fuel to the fire. For a
few months at least, it seemed to me, to quote Jim Morrison the “whole shit
house could go up in flames.” Well it didn’t, and things returned to their
shapeless trammelled drudgery, kicking the can further down the road. The media did a good job for their masters in portraying a narrative of moral savagery being the cause of the riots; the shooting of Mark Duggan was just an inconvenient fact. Some of
these photoshops are better than others, but they’re all borne out of the same
anger and outrage. One day the Lion will wake up and roar. Until then, you’ve
got some crap photoshops to entertain you.
