Why he's not been posted for a while, let's see what he's been up to since getting canned for being too poo poo for the Telegraph. Mostly he's been very mad about anyone claiming covid still exists and we might want to do anything at all about it:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7yes that's jacinda adrern  8honestly i'm not even sure what this means exactly. i am not aware of any health workers giving children cigarettes  for naked people: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FRgVxXeXMAEqekH?format=jpg&name=large for tiny naked people but linked just to be safe: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOeKV3yWYAk1NaE?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 Partygate is bad, but only because it shows Boris was wrong about rules being neccesary for anyone ever:  9Also sometimes posts some generic rear end happy family bullshit which is probably still about covid:  10He's also Very Concerned about the war in Ukraine:  11 12 13 14out of context of his other cartoons, this would seem reasonable, but...  15he has repeatedly posted a zoom-in of the bit where Zelensky wears the lady clothes, he is very proud of that incisive gag But he's mostly concerned about Ukraine because it distracts from the very real evil covid conspiracy:  16 17 18 19 20I didn't know who this was but the batshit replies inform me it's Klaus Schwab, who wrote "The Great Reset" He's weighed in on the trucker convoy:  21 22 23 24He has turned against Elon Musk though, because he once tweeted nice things about the vaccine:  25He's just generally mad about everything.  26 27 28 (visible bollocks also you can see some testicles): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOE4S-KXoAMGh9g?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 Also as a bonus, have a cartoon that was somehow too transphobic for the Telegraph: https://twitter.com/bobscartoons/status/1506733936071909378

A bit more digging identifies (as others have before me) that the Democracy Fund is a front organization for Rebel News, which they appear to have initially set up to offset the costs of and raise money off of their efforts to undermine covid restrictions. And yep, Rebel News cross-pollinates its writers with Sputnik, which remediates their articles.
