The cartoon culture war in the Telegraph rages back and forth.
Alright, Garland’s little dishonesty could, by the charitable, be ascribed to cowardice. How is a fellow to draw a too, too black hand holding the gun? Oh, the agony.
But there is not an ounce of Garland’s equivocation in this, from Springs, though equivocation of a different kind may apply. It plagiarises that celebration of the familial life of our healthy, monoracial past, the Bisto Kids. The “Kid’s Stuff” title might help the more subtle reader towards a deeper intention: what’s gone wrong with childhood? Answer (possibly): it’s black. But if that’s the case the use of the generic “Housing Estate UK” after Garland’s “High Street UK” is unhelpful. And, anyway, design by ommission, if that’s what this is, remains dangerously uncertain, and is a very long and discursive way from the old newspaper tradition of fearless free speech. How difficult is it, really, to state the facts of black sociobiology?
One wonders, after these awful past decades of PeeCee, what political synapses inside the heads of Telegraph management still function normally. Not many, I think.
