NextFeeding Political Egos


FIRST RULE of any war. Shoot the politician who declared it. This may be frowned upon in a democracy. So how about :- ALL POLTICIANS in the declaring party are to enlist for Active Service. The country is to be governed by a coalition of government parties until peace is achieved.
People get killed in wars and they don’t solve enough to make them worthwhile, except for armament manufacturers and politician’s egos.

The Gulf War inspired this. It was made in thick threads, even torn strips of fabric because I did not want to be angry for too long.

The four heads are politicians. From the left, a composite head of Hitler and Churchill. This surprised me, it came from my subconscious. They were the chaps who messed up my teen years. Next, comes a head with Bush’s mean little mouth, followed by a wave in the hair for Bob Hawke, the last is a horror of the future. They have noughts and crosses over their faces. It is a game for them.
