08.07 Humane
treatment of
sentient beings
“Ministers had drawn
up plans recognising
that lobsters, crabs,
octopuses, squid and
other invertebrates
feel pain – and that
animals are sentient
beings. At the same
time, as the migrant
crisis in the Channel
escalated, the same
government was
ignoring the sentient
beings in the bottom
right of my drawing.”
22.07 We shall fight
them in France...
“The number of
migrants crossing the
Channel into Britain
passed the previous
annual record in July
this year. The UK
had given France
£54 million to police
its beaches and
I was able to adapt
the words of the
speech by Winston
Churchill, imagining
what the home
secretary, Priti
Patel, would daub
on the White Cliffs
of Dover.”
