About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer & broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am the author of 'Stranger than Fiction', a biography of Edgar Wallace, available here http://goo.gl/o2cZze , 'Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys 1945 to Present Day' and 'Flying Ace'. I have been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in UK & overseas including The Daily and Sunday Express, The Guardian, The Week, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Spectator. My work has appeared in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Woman's Weekly, and the Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-con war agenda -and believe in the urgent necessity of a left-right anti-war coalition. On domestic issues I support re-nationalisation of the railways and public utilities (I co-founded of The Campaign for Public Ownership), free care for the elderly, a free NHS including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside. I am anti-lockdown. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @NEILCLARK66 and @MightyMagyar

Not so sure I agree. Since when has Steve Bell satirised Islamism or other crackpot fanaticisms other than the American variety ? Now that WOULD take courage. Cartoonists are often smug individuals who get their politics wrong too. Bush is an easy target appealing to in- group smugness.
One need only think of David Low's revolting caricature of the deperately courageous Warsaw Uprising of 1944 and defense of the Soviet war effort against the quarellsome and ungratetful Poles of the Home Army whose country had only been partitioned with the full connivance of Stalin 5 years previous.
Likewise it is easy to satirise Bush warbling about freedom for Cuba whilst showing him prating about it from Guantanamo Bay. So Casto's imprisonment and persecution of dissidents does not count then so long as cheap pot shots can be taken at Bush.
Bush deserves all "shots", cheap or otherwise! He is mass murderer and an evil, evil man!
